What counselling for low mood can help with in Gurugram
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
Most of Gurugram moved here for work in the last ten years. That does something specific: the support people normally lean on, family down the road, school friends, neighbours who’ve known you a while, just isn’t there. The people around you’re colleagues. Colleagues are also who you’re measured against.
What comes out of that’s a familiar shape of strain. Demands high, pay reasonable, control low, support thin, recovery basically absent. Add two hours of commute and rent that makes quitting feel dangerous, and you get people who aren’t in crisis but have been running years past what they could keep up.
The other Gurugram story is the parent on those hours who’s worried about a teenager they barely see on weekdays, and genuinely can’t tell if what they’re seeing is normal fifteen or something else.
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.

45 minutes with the same counsellor every time. You leave with one or two concrete things to try, not a sales pitch.
What’s already available in Gurugram, and what’s missing
Plenty of offices across Cyber City and Golf Course Road run wellness programmes, and some are good. The catch people describe is trust. Whatever the confidentiality policy says, it’s hard to speak freely to a counsellor your employer arranged when the thing you want to talk about is your manager, or the fact that you’re thinking of leaving.
This sits outside all of that. Online, ₹249 for a first session, and nothing reaches your company, because your company was never part of it.
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 Gurugram

Frequently asked questions
Will my employer know I booked a session?
No. This is completely independent of any corporate wellness programme — your company isn’t involved, isn’t billed, and isn’t told. You can book using a first name only.
Can I do a session outside office hours?
Yes. You pick your own slot from the live calendar, and evening and weekend times are available. Sessions are online, so there’s no commute added to your day.
My problem is genuinely my workload. Can counselling fix that?
It can’t change your workload, and it would be dishonest to claim otherwise. What it can help with is the part you do control — boundaries, what you want to ask for, how you’re reading the situation, and whether staying is the right call. Sometimes the honest conclusion is that the job is the problem.
I am a parent in Gurugram worried about my teenager. Where do I start?
A parent session is a reasonable first step, and it doesn’t require your child to agree to anything. It is often more useful than pushing a reluctant teenager into a room. Our guide for parents covers the signs worth taking seriously.
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.
