Online counselling
Counselling for relationships and life changes
A breakup. A move to a new city. A new job, a new baby, a diagnosis, a loss. Even the changes we chose can leave us unsettled, and the ones we didn't choose can knock the ground from under us.
What people bring
- Struggling to settle after a move, a new role or a big decision
- A relationship ending, or one that feels stuck
- Conflict with a partner, parents or family that keeps repeating
- Loneliness after a change in circumstances
- Grief after a loss, recent or long ago
- Feeling behind, lost, or unsure what you want next
- Wanting to understand yourself better, without anything being "wrong"
Adjustment is a skill, and like any skill it's easier with support. You don't have to be in distress to benefit from a space to think.
How counselling can help
Making sense of what changed. Big transitions rearrange more than our routines; they touch identity, belonging and what we expected life to look like. Sessions give you room to work out what the change means to you, not just what to do about it.
Relationships and difficult conversations. Whether it's a partner, a parent or a colleague, counselling can help you understand the patterns you fall into together, say what you need clearly, and set boundaries you can actually keep.
Grief, at its own pace. Loss doesn't follow a timetable. A steady place to talk about the person or the life you've lost, without being hurried past it, can matter more than any advice.
Clarity about next steps. When you're unsure what you want, sessions help you separate your own voice from everyone else's, notice what already matters to you, and take one realistic step at a time.
How sessions work
Sessions are held online on Google Meet, so they fit around a life in motion: a new city, an unpredictable schedule, a home you'd rather not leave right now. A first consultation runs 45 minutes; after that, you and Somesh decide together what would help.
When you book, you'll be asked briefly what brings you here, along with your age and gender. Everything you share is confidential.
Questions people often ask
Is counselling only for when something is wrong?
No. Many people use sessions to think through a decision, understand a pattern in their relationships, or get to know themselves better during a period of change. Personal growth is a perfectly good reason to book.
Can we come as a couple?
Sessions are currently individual. If you're navigating a relationship, you can bring it to your own sessions, and Somesh can suggest options if couples work would help.
How soon after a loss should I seek counselling?
There is no right time. Some people want support in the first weeks; others come months or years later when the loss surfaces in a new way. Whenever you feel ready is soon enough.
I'm not sure what I want to talk about. Is that a problem?
Not at all. "Something feels off and I can't name it" is a common and completely fine place to start. Naming it is part of the work.
How is this different from talking to a friend?
Friends matter, and they are not replaced by counselling. What a counsellor adds is training, confidentiality, and a space that is entirely about you: no need to manage their feelings, return the favour, or edit what you say.
