Need of the Hour: Effective and Affordable Counseling Services in India
Introduction: The Rising Need for Counseling Services in India
In recent years, the demand for professional counselling services in India has grown significantly. From addressing stress and anxiety to resolving relationship conflicts, individuals across all age groups are realising the importance of mental and emotional well-being. However, the gap between the demand and availability of affordable and effective counselling services remains a pressing issue.
At Mytreya, we aim to bridge this gap by offering holistic counselling solutions tailored to Indian needs.
The Growing Mental Health Crisis: A Quantitative Perspective
1. Statistics on Mental Health in India:
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), 15% of Indians suffer from mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and stress.
The National Mental Health Survey of India (NMHS) reported that over 70% of individuals with mental health problems do not seek help due to stigma or lack of resources.
2. The Financial Barrier:
Traditional counselling services in urban areas often cost ₹1,500–₹5,000 per session, making them inaccessible for many.
Only one psychiatrist is available per 100,000 people in India, highlighting the shortage of professionals.
Affordable Counseling: Why It’s a Game-Changer

At Mytreya, we believe in providing affordable counselling services without compromising on quality. Our packages are competitively priced, ensuring accessibility for everyone.
2. Customised Solutions:
Our counsellors design tailor-made plans to address individual needs, whether it’s stress management, marital issues, or work-life balance.
3. Integration of Holistic Practices:
We combine counselling with yoga, nutrition guidance, and image consulting, offering a well-rounded approach to overall well-being.
The Qualitative Impact of Counseling
1. Transforming Lives:
Case Study: A 32-year-old working professional approached us for stress-related counselling. Within six sessions, they reported a 60% reduction in anxiety levels and improved work productivity.
2. Strengthening relationships:
