Why see a psychologist
Seeking help early is a strength, not a last resort
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. People come to Dr. Kohli at the first sign that something feels stuck— a marriage drifting, a low mood that won’t lift, a child who has changed, a move abroad that unsettled everything. Acting early usually means fewer sessions and a faster return to feeling like yourself.
An estimated 150 million Indians need mental-health support, yet fewer than one in six receives the care they need— a treatment gap driven far more by stigma and access than by any shortage of effective help.

Which do you need?
Psychologist or psychiatrist?
A question many people ask before booking. The short version: psychologists work through talk therapy; psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication.

|---|---|---|
| Training | Doctoral-level training in psychology & therapy | Medical doctor (MBBS/MD) specialising in psychiatry |
| Main approach | Talk therapy— understanding and changing patterns | Diagnosis and medication management |
| Prescribes medication? | No | Yes |
| Often best for | Relationships, anxiety, stress, family conflict, life transitions | Conditions where medication is central to treatment |

Questions, answered
Consultation FAQs

You can book directly through the website or by calling or messaging the clinic on +91 98118 62338, which is also on WhatsApp. New clients are currently being accepted for both in-clinic and online sessions.
How much does a session cost?
Sessions are priced by length: ₹6,000 for 30 minutes, ₹10,000 for 60 minutes, and ₹15,000 for 75 minutes. The 75-minute session suits couples and families, where each person needs individual time within the session. The same rates apply in-clinic and online.
Does Dr. Kohli offer online sessions, including for NRIs?
Yes. Dr. Kohli consults online with clients across India and internationally, and works regularly with NRIs and the Indian diaspora in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and the Middle East. Online sessions are held by secure video or audio call, in English or Hindi.
Where is the clinic located, and what are the hours?
The clinic is at NR 36, Nathupur Road, near Neelkanth Hospital, DLF Phase 3, Sector 24, Gurugram, Haryana 122002. In-clinic hours are Monday to Saturday, 2:30 PM to 8:00 PM; morning slots can be arranged on request. Online consultations are available worldwide.
Will what I share be kept confidential?
Yes. Sessions are private and what you share stays between you and Dr. Kohli. Confidentiality has narrow legal and ethical limits— for example, where there is a serious risk of harm— and these are explained at the outset.
Does Dr. Kohli prescribe medication?
As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Kohli works through evidence-informed talk therapy rather than medication, and most concerns are addressed this way. When medication may be helpful, a psychiatrist within the practice can assess and prescribe, so your care stays coordinated within one team.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what you bring and your goals. Some concerns ease in a handful of sessions; others, especially long-standing relationship or family patterns, benefit from steady work over time. Dr. Kohli will give you a realistic sense of this after the first session, and you stay in control of the pace.
How do I choose the right clinical psychologist?
Look for recognised qualifications— a master’s or doctorate in clinical psychology and relevant registration— along with real experience in your specific concern, whether that’s marriage, anxiety, or family conflict. An approach you feel comfortable with matters just as much: a good fit usually leaves you feeling understood after the first session, and clearer about your next step. Dr. Kohli holds a PhD in Clinical Psychology and has worked across these areas for over 30 years.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person sessions?
For most common concerns— anxiety, low mood, stress, and relationship difficulties— research finds online therapy works about as well as meeting in person, as long as the connection is private and stable. It also removes travel and makes consistent weekly sessions easier, which is part of why so many of Dr. Kohli’s NRI and out-of-city clients choose it. Some situations are better suited to in-clinic work, and Dr. Kohli will tell you honestly if that’s the case for you.
Choose help. Not suffering.
Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to work it out alone. Book a session with Dr. Kohli— in Gurugram or online, wherever you are in the world.
