Frequently asked questions
Do I need a diagnosis to begin therapy?
No. You can begin with whatever is currently concerning you.
What happens during the consultation?
The free consultation is a brief conversation about what you are looking for, whether your needs fall within the service’s scope, and whether the way Pratha works feels suitable. It is not a clinical assessment or therapy session.
What happens in the first full session?
The first session usually explores what brings you to therapy, relevant background, your goals, confidentiality, boundaries, communication preferences, and preferred structure.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no universal number. Some people seek shorter focused work, while others benefit from open-ended therapy. Duration and progress are reviewed collaboratively.
How often are sessions held?
Sessions are usually weekly or fortnightly, depending on your needs, availability, and the nature of the work.
Is online therapy confidential?
Sessions are private and confidential, subject to specific legal and safeguarding exceptions, such as serious and immediate risk of harm or a legal obligation to disclose.
Is online therapy suitable for everyone?
It may not be appropriate where urgent crisis support, intensive psychiatric care, emergency intervention, or in-person assessment is required. The consultation helps determine suitability.
Do you provide emergency or crisis support?
No. Parallax Psychology is not an emergency service and cannot provide immediate assistance between sessions. For urgent mental-health support in India, call Tele-MANAS on 14416 or 1800-89-14416. For an immediate emergency, call 112.
Do you prescribe medication?
No. Psychology practitioners do not prescribe medication. Where appropriate, you may be encouraged to consult a psychiatrist or medical professional.
Do you provide formal autism or ADHD diagnoses?
Parallax Psychology currently offers therapeutic support relating to autistic and ADHD experiences but does not provide formal diagnostic assessments.
