What counselling for low mood can help with in Faridabad
You don’t need a diagnosis or a reason that looks big enough from outside. These are the things people bring when low mood has been weighing on them:
Things you used to enjoy going flat — hobbies, people, plans. Often the earliest and most honest sign.
Tiredness sleep doesn’t fix, mornings getting harder, everything taking more effort than it should.
Guilt, feeling like a burden, a running self-criticism you’d never accept aimed at anyone else.
Pulling back from friends and family without quite deciding to, and the loneliness that follows.
Feeling flat or empty rather than tearful — the version of low mood that’s easiest to miss and dismiss.
Drift after a setback, a loss or a change — where low mood and feeling directionless feed each other.
What the pressure looks like here
Faridabad is a city built around work. The industrial belts along Mathura Road and the NIT and Ballabhgarh sectors pull in people who came here for a job on the line, in a workshop, or in a small unit that can’t afford a bad month. A lot of that work is shift work, and a lot of the families here moved from somewhere else to do it, which means the people you’d normally lean on are a train ride away.
That produces a particular kind of strain. Long hours, a wage that doesn’t leave much room, a commute that eats what’s left, and a sense that stopping to deal with how you feel is a luxury other people get. People turn up having carried something for years because there was never an hour in the week that belonged to them.
The other Faridabad story is the student stuck between a city that’s technically Delhi NCR and a Delhi that feels a world away — travelling hours to a coaching centre, or quietly deciding they can’t ask their family to fund one.
How it works
The PHQ-4 is a short, well-known low-mood and anxiety scale. Two minutes, no sign-up, nothing saved — it helps you see how heavy the fortnight has been.

What’s already available in Faridabad, and what’s missing
Faridabad isn’t short of hospitals. Amrita Hospital out towards the bypass is one of the largest in the country, and the ESIC medical college serves a lot of the industrial workforce. If you need a psychiatric assessment or things are severe, that care exists.
What’s much harder to find is an unhurried conversation when you aren’t ill — just worn down, anxious, or quietly not okay. Private therapy in NCR runs ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 a session, which for a shift worker or a student means asking for money and explaining why, which for a lot of people means not going at all.
Sessions here run online, at a slot you pick around your shift, and the first one is ₹249.
Confidential means confidential
- Nothing goes to your parents, school, college or employer. No report, no summary, not even confirmation that you turned up.
- A first name is enough to book. You don’t owe us your full name, and you don’t have to explain yourself in advance.
- The self-checks store nothing. Your answers sit in your browser and vanish when you close the tab.
- Sessions are online. No waiting room, nobody to bump into.
Who you’ll be talking to
Sachin Bajaj has an M.Sc in Clinical Psychology from Gurugram University and a PGDGC from Jamia Millia Islamia, and has worked with more than 500 students and families across India. You get the same counsellor every session — no app shuffling you between strangers who each need the story from the top.
What this is, and what it isn’t
It’s counselling support, not treatment: confidential conversations about what you’re carrying and what might help. We don’t diagnose conditions and we don’t prescribe medication, and this isn’t an emergency service. If what you describe needs a psychiatrist, your counsellor will tell you so in the first session and help you find one. You won’t be sold a package instead.
What a session costs in Faridabad

Frequently asked questions
Will my employer or factory know I booked a session?
No. This is completely independent of any workplace or ESIC programme — your employer isn’t involved, isn’t told, and isn’t billed. You can book using a first name only.
I work shifts. Can I get a session that fits?
Yes. You pick your own slot from the live calendar, and daytime slots that suit a night or rotating shift are available. Sessions are online, so nothing is added to your commute.
Is this available in Hindi?
Yes — Hindi or English, whichever you actually think in. For most people in Faridabad the difficult parts are much easier to reach in Hindi, even when work runs in English.
My problem is really money and workload. Can counselling help?
It can’t change your pay or your hours, and it would be dishonest to pretend otherwise. What it can help with is the part you do carry — the worry, the sleep, the boundaries, and working out what, if anything, you want to change. Sometimes the honest conclusion is that the situation is the problem, not you.
Can counselling help with depression?
Often, yes — especially for mild to moderate low mood, where counselling, support and small changes make a real difference. More severe depression sometimes needs medication alongside, and a counsellor will tell you honestly.
I feel numb rather than sad. Is that still worth talking about?
Yes. Loss of feeling — not enjoying anything, feeling flat or empty — is a core feature of depression and is often missed. It’s very much worth talking through.
