What you can count on

  • How we check professionals

    Titles and registration requirements differ, so Mindara uses profession-aware verification and displays the provider's submitted professional details.

    How provider verification works
  • Privacy

    Mindara restricts account and care information by role and uses secure transport. Your employer does not receive individual session content through an EAP plan. Review the privacy policy for processing details.

  • What you pay

    The exact provider, session format, duration, price, taxes and payment method are shown before checkout.

    See current pricing
  • Cancellations and refunds

    Before you cancel, Mindara shows the applicable cancellation window, refund percentage and destination. Eligibility depends on the service, timing, reason and mandatory consumer rights. If a provider cannot deliver a paid session, the payment or eligible session credit is returned through the applicable refund process.

    Read the complete payment, cancellation and refund terms
  • What this service is not

    Online care is not appropriate for every situation. It is not an emergency service, and a booking does not guarantee a diagnosis, prescription or result. If there is immediate danger or risk of harm, contact local emergency services or use the crisis resources page.

What to know before you decide

Start with what has changed

Persistent low mood or loss of interest can affect everyday life. You do not have to decide by yourself whether the right label is depression before asking for help. Explain changes in your routine, work, relationships or ability to do the things you usually do.

Read our depression overview for background. An appointment is a chance to discuss your own circumstances.

Compare counselling and medical appointments

For conversation-based support, look at the professional’s qualifications and experience with depression. For a medical assessment, medication questions or a review of existing treatment, compare psychiatry consultations. Therapy and medical care may be used together when appropriate; ask each professional about their scope.

Your first session does not need to cover everything

Choose a private place and bring any notes you find useful. You can begin with a simple explanation such as “I have been struggling to get through my usual day.” Ask how the appointment will be structured and what happens if you find it hard to talk.

If you want a trusted person involved, ask in advance how that could work and what information you consent to share.

Plan appointments around your budget

Compare the format, duration and full fee rather than a headline price alone. Ask about review points and the cost of follow-ups. Existing therapy listings under ₹500 show current options; availability varies by provider and session.

When a routine booking is not enough

If you cannot keep yourself safe or have an immediate medical emergency, seek urgent local help rather than waiting for an online booking. Tell a trusted person what is happening if you can. Routine appointments are not continuous emergency monitoring.

For a first-session checklist, read what to expect from therapy.

Questions people ask

Should I choose counselling or a psychiatrist?

For talking support, compare relevant therapy professionals. For medical assessment or prescription questions, look for an appropriately qualified doctor. You can ask about coordinated care.

Do I need to know what to say?

No. A brief description of what has changed is a useful starting point.

Can I choose Hindi-speaking support?

Check the language options on profiles and confirm the appointment language before booking.

Is one appointment a complete treatment?

A first appointment helps establish what you need. Ask about next steps; an outcome is not guaranteed.

Ready when you are

You can change your mind at any point, and you are not tied to your first choice.
