People Illustration

Thanks to your organization, which understands our Indian culture well and comprehends how the lack of awareness and information about various mental health issues impacts India. Therapy isn't a Western concept; Indians just haven't recognized it.

Before starting the therapy, I thought I wouldn't be comfortable talking if it's not in Punjabi. But actually, that wasn't the case. I was pretty comfortable in Hindi and English, and I loved how my therapist made me feel so comfortable in every session. Just the knowledge that my therapist understands Punjabi was enough to boost my confidence to speak in Hindi and English.

FOUNDER'S NOTE

Growing up, I saw people around me struggle with their mental health. I knew that it was hard but realized that it was even more challenging without professional support.

Nothing can replace therapy.

Helping people with their mental health journey is not just my profession, it’s also personal for me. The Friendly Couch started as an idea when I was just a kid. I'm thrilled that I am finally doing it!

Get to know me, The Friendly Couch, and my team of therapists.

Spot on. She steers me into my darkest moments to open up with ease. She explains the dos and don'ts of handling overwhelming emotions and advises on not easily giving in to guilt tripping myself. That's the most one would need to hear after a session.

Narrative Therapy

It's extremely hard to take this step at 17, but you made it very comfortable. Thank you for having the Friendly Couch; the reels you put out made me well-prepared about what to expect and what not. The terms and conditions were detailed really well; they gave a mental preparedness. Thank you for maintaining confidentiality of information. I had a really bad experience previous to this, and only because of you could I trust in this process again. I could solve a lot of problems before entering into a larger world. Keep doing this good work.
