Book a consultation
See a verified professional who speaks your language
Finding a therapist in India usually means a forwarded phone number and no idea whether the person is qualified, available, or able to counsel you in the language you actually think in.
Saantvana shows you verified psychologists, psychiatrists and counsellors with published rates, real availability and the languages they practise in — so booking takes minutes and you know exactly who you're meeting.

Employer-funded sessions
If your employer runs Saantvana, sessions may already be covered — and your booking is never reported to them.
Before your first session
- Take a free screening so you have something concrete to start from.
- Note the two or three things you most want to change — sessions move faster with a focus.
- Choose the language you'd use at home, not the one you use at work.
- Check the notice window for rescheduling on the expert's profile.
- Decide what, if anything, you want to share from your assessment history.
Booking — common questions
- How do I book a session with a psychologist or psychiatrist?
- Browse the verified expert directory, filter by language, specialty and rate, open a profile to see availability, then pick a slot. You create an account at the point of booking — you don't need one to browse.
- Do I need an assessment before booking?
- No, but taking a free screening first helps. It gives your expert a clear starting point and helps our matching suggest professionals who work with your specific concern.
- Are sessions online or in person?
- Most experts offer online sessions across India. Some also list in-person availability in their city or district, which is shown on their profile.
- How do I know an expert is genuine?
- Every expert completes identity and qualification verification, and regulated professions have their registration confirmed with the issuing authority before they can be listed.
- What does a session cost?
- Each expert publishes their own rate, shown on their profile before you book. The price you're charged is validated against that published rate — it cannot be altered at checkout.
- Can I book in Malayalam, Hindi or Tamil?
- Yes. You can filter the directory by the language you want to be counselled in, across all ten supported languages.
- Can I reschedule or cancel?
- Yes, from your appointments in the platform, subject to the expert's notice window shown at booking.
- Is this suitable for an emergency?
- No. If you are in immediate danger or crisis, use the crisis support page for regional helplines rather than waiting for a booked appointment.
