Individual therapy

Individual therapy, at your own pace

Time and space that’s just for you, with someone trained to listen and help you find a way forward. In Bengaluru or online.

Confidential. In person or online. No pressure to continue.

What brings people here

Some of the things people bring.

You don’t need a diagnosis to start. If something is weighing on you, that’s reason enough.

Anxiety and stress

A mind that won’t switch off, a tight chest before work, or worry that takes up the whole day. Sessions help you notice what sets it off and practise steadier responses.

Grief and loss

The death of someone close, a relationship ending, or a loss others don’t see. There’s no right way to grieve, and you don’t have to carry it alone.

Trauma and painful memories

Experiences that still feel close, even years later. Work goes gently and at your pace, with your sense of safety first.

OCD and intrusive thoughts

Thoughts that feel stuck, and habits that are hard to stop. CBT-based approaches can help you relate to them differently.

Loneliness

Feeling alone in a crowd, after a move, or far from home. A space to understand it and reconnect, step by step.

Work and career stress

Burnout, big decisions, or a job that doesn’t fit anymore. Making sense of what you want and what’s in the way.

Relationship patterns

Ending up in the same place with partners, family or friends. Looking at where the pattern comes from, and what you’d like instead.

Something else?

If it isn’t listed here, send a message. Sammyaka will tell you honestly whether she’s the right person to help.

The approach

Practical, calm, and yours.

Sammyaka works mainly with CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and REBT (rational emotive behaviour therapy). Both look at the link between what you think, what you feel and what you do. You learn to spot unhelpful patterns and try new ones, in sessions and in daily life.

A session usually looks like this

  1. A check-in on how the week has been
  2. Talking through what feels most important today
  3. Looking at the thoughts and patterns underneath
  4. Agreeing one small thing to try before next time

What therapy here is not. Sammyaka is a psychologist, not a psychiatrist, and does not prescribe medication. If she thinks a psychiatrist or doctor could help, she will talk it through with you and suggest a referral.

Questions

Good to know.

How do I know if therapy is right for me, or for us?

You don’t need a diagnosis, a crisis or a clear goal to start. Many people come because something feels heavy, stuck or repeated, and they want space to think it through with someone trained to help. If you’re unsure, send a message and ask. There’s no obligation.

How long and how often are sessions?

Each session is 60 minutes. Most people meet weekly or every two weeks at the start, then less often as things settle. You can pause or stop whenever you choose.

Is it confidential?

Yes. What you share stays between you and Sammyaka, with a few legal exceptions, such as a serious risk to someone’s life or a court order. Sessions are never recorded. She’ll go through her confidentiality policy in your first session, including how it works in couples sessions. You can read it any time on the confidentiality page.

Do you prescribe medication?

No. Sammyaka is a psychologist, not a psychiatrist, and does not prescribe medication. If she thinks a psychiatrist’s view would help you, she will talk with you about it and can suggest a referral.

Is online therapy as good as in person?

For many people, yes. What matters most is feeling safe and heard. For online sessions, find a quiet, private place, use headphones if you can, and keep a glass of water nearby.

When you’re ready, the first step is a message.

Book a time that suits you, or send a short note on WhatsApp. In person in Bengaluru, or online wherever you are.
