Online Counselling For Depression (Tele Psychiatry )

What is counselling?

Counselling is a form of talk therapy. Counselling helps you get clarity during difficult times. There is no difference between face to face and online Counselling offered by Chennai Minds. Online counselling for depression helps you to process and deal with difficult emotions and to learn the latest strategies from one of the best psychiatrists in Chennai. Counselling will help you become more adept at coping with stress and uncertainty in your life.

Why is counselling with a psychiatrist different?

Dr. Radhika is a well-known Consultant Psychiatrist in Chennai.  As the CEO of Chennai minds, her passion is to help her patients. Dr. Radhika is a medically qualified professional who has had years of experience and wide qualifications in Psychiatry. Dr. Radhika’s postgraduate and higher specialist training in psychiatry includes psychotherapy and counselling experience in Cambridge, UK.

A counselling session with a psychiatrist is different because the session will consider you and your difficulties as a whole, taking into consideration any medical/mental health issues that require medical treatment apart from counselling. Any of the mental health issues can contribute to the way you are feeling and thinking and this will be addressed with a broad viewpoint from a medical and psychiatric perspective.

Counselling offered by Chennai Minds will include helping you change unhelpful beliefs that you may have, giving practical strategies and tips to equip you to start coping with stress better.

Dr. Radhika, Chennai Minds has devised methods based on years of experience, for the most optimum changes to your mental health through talk therapy.

This includes steps such as: 

  • Practicing self-love and acceptance
  • Nurturing a healthy body and mind
  • Learning how to approach a problem and solving it effectively
  • How to deal with sudden setbacks and life events such as death, divorce and job loss.

Online counselling for depression offered by Dr. Radhika combines these methods with elements of life coaching. The counselling strategies will make sure that you gain a truly personalized counselling experience.

Is online counselling for depression effective?

Online counseling for depression is very effective and efficient compared to face-to-face counselling. Workplace, EAP Counselling  reduces your commuting time, time spent on waiting, and can be fit in at the end of a busy day. In our experience, most people prefer online counselling for depression especially when they need several sessions.

Is there a difference between counselling and psychotherapy?

Yes. There is a difference between counseling and psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is more formalized and for more complex issues. Counselling is for single issues that need to be worked through. Counselling is not the same as giving advice. It is to enable and empower you with tools to solve your problems, asking you the right questions to get your own clarity, support you in making decisions, and help with processing your emotions.

What conditions does counselling help with?

  • Distressing life events such as a loss (death), divorce, relationship breakdown, job loss
  • Handling and processing unhelpful emotions such as anger
  • Difficulty making decisions
  • Problem-solving
  • Developing life skills
  • Personal development
  • Processing trauma

Are elements of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) combined with online counselling for depression?

Absolutely. As mentioned earlier, the sessions are personalized. Given the wide experience of Dr. Radhika and her reputation as the best psychiatrist in Chennai, these sessions are modified according to the needs of the client. If certain unhelpful thoughts are present and require modification, Dr. Radhika will work with you accordingly.

Where do people connect and request online counselling for depression?

Dr. Radhika consults clients from all over the world. Online psychiatric counselling is in great demand from the Middle East (Dubai, Kuwait, Qatar), Singapore, Malaysia, Canada, USA, UK, and Australia. They feel more comfortable connecting with a psychiatrist who speaks their language and understands their culture, making it an easy and convenient option for international clients.
