What happens in the first counselling session?
In the first session your counsellor listens to your story, asks gentle questions about your relationship and goals, and explains how they work. You leave with a suggested plan and one small step to try. Nothing is forced; you share at your own pace.
Is online or in-person counselling better?
Neither is better for everyone. Online sessions suit busy or long-distance clients anywhere in India. In-person sessions in Pune suit people who prefer face-to-face contact. Both cost the same and follow the same methods.

How long is a counselling session?
Individual sessions last 50 minutes. Couple sessions last 75 minutes so both partners have time to be heard. Most people attend weekly or fortnightly.
