Question 1

What happens in the first session?

Accepted Answer

Before anything, there’s a free 15-minute discovery call — we listen to what you’re carrying and match you with the therapist who fits. Your first session then moves at your pace. There’s no intake form that flattens you into symptoms, and nothing to perform: you can arrive exactly as tired, as unsure, or as difficult as you are.

Question 2

How much does therapy cost?

Accepted Answer

We work in tiers — senior clinicians, consultants, and sliding-scale sessions with early-career therapists under close supervision — so cost doesn’t have to be the reason you don’t begin. Exact fees are shared on the discovery call. Paying a full fee here also keeps the lights on at Iraada, where the same care is offered free and low-cost.

Question 3

Do you offer online sessions? Where are you based?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we work online across India and across time zones, and in person in Delhi and Bangalore.

Question 4

Is this a safe space for queer, trans and neurodivergent clients?

Accepted Answer

It’s built by us, for us. Our team is queer- and kink-affirming and neurodivergence-affirming, and carries lived experience of the identities we serve. You will never have to educate your therapist in order to be understood here.

Question 5

Is what I share confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. What you share stays between you and your therapist, with the standard legal and safety limits — and we walk you through exactly what those limits are in the therapy contract before you begin, so none of it is fine print.

Question 6

Do you work with children, or offer emergency care?

Accepted Answer

We work with ages 14 and up, and we’re not an emergency or inpatient service. If you’re in crisis right now, please reach out to iCall (+91 91529 87821) or the Vandrevala Foundation (1860-2662-345) — both free, confidential and open 24/7. When the immediate storm passes, we’re here for the longer work.
