Talk to an Indian Therapist Online, Wherever You Live
Living in the US, UK, UAE, Canada, Australia or anywhere else, and want a counsellor who simply gets it? Talk privately to a qualified Indian counsellor by chat, audio or video, at a time that works in your time zone.
In short: MindHope connects Indians living abroad with qualified counsellors based in India. Every counsellor holds at least a master's in psychology and speaks English and Hindi; some also speak Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi or Urdu. You book online, see open times in your local time zone, and pay in Indian rupees by international card.
Why Indians Abroad Choose an Indian Counsellor
A good counsellor anywhere can help. But some things are easier when you don't have to explain the background first.
Family is understood
Parents back home, marriage expectations, guilt about living far away, joint-family dynamics. Your counsellor knows this context.
Your own language
Talk in English, Hindi or Hinglish, and with some counsellors in Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi or Urdu. See counselling in Hindi.
Affordable, session by session
Prices are set in Indian rupees, which many people abroad find easier to keep up with week after week. No subscription.
