What clients say about Lama

"I have tried therapy in the past with many therapists, but Chaitali from Lama was the only one who helped me explore all aspects of my life, including my childhood. This has immensely helped me in connecting the dots. Every session feels like a treasure hunt because I discover something new about myself each time."

- Male, early 30s, Bengaluru

"My Lama therapist knows exactly what questions to ask, which helps me understand why I feel the way I do. For me, she’s helped confront and work through decades of deep-seated fears and trauma – exactly what I was seeking in therapy."

- Female, early 30s, London

"As a working professional, I’ve found therapy with Lama to be incredibly valuable for exploring my inner feelings and achieving a better work-life balance. I get clarity of thought after discussing stuff with my therapist. It helps me bring out few things on the surface and understand the root cause of it."

- Male, early 30s, Bengaluru

"I am someone who finds it very hard to describe how I am feeling. I always thought therapy wont work for me because of this reason. My Lama therapist made me draw with my left hand, to help me connect with my emotions and express what I was feeling. Over time, I have been able to get in touch with my emotions, which has helped me keep my anxiety at bay."

- Female, early 30s, Bengaluru

"I had reached the point where stress was starting to impact every aspect of my life. After sessions with my therapist, I usually feel calm and relaxed. One unexpected yet incredible benefit has been her impact on my physical well-being. Lama therapy is helping me keep my shoulder pain in check."

- Male, early 30s, Bengaluru

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I understand if I need therapy?

Therapy can be beneficial for anyone, whether you’re facing specific challenges or simply want a space to better understand yourself. You might consider therapy if you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, or stuck, or if you’re struggling with issues like relationships, work, or self-esteem. Therapy is also helpful if you’re looking for personal growth, clarity, or new ways to handle life’s challenges. You don’t need to have a crisis or a diagnosis to benefit from therapy—sometimes, just having a neutral, supportive person to talk to makes a world of difference.

You can start with a single session to see how it feels - there's no long-term commitment required. Many people find that having an initial conversation with a therapist helps them decide if it's the right time for therapy.

What will I talk about in every session?

This isn’t something you need to stress about. Your Lama therapist is trained to guide the conversation and will support you in exploring what's on your mind, even if you're not sure where to start. Each session is your time, and you can talk about anything that feels important or relevant – whether it’s work, relationships, personal goals, or simply how you’re feeling day-to-day. Over time, this space can lead to new insights and a deeper understanding of yourself. There’s no right or wrong thing to say, and your therapist is there to help you find the best path forward.

What if I find it very difficult to open up about my feelings?

It’s completely okay to feel hesitant about sharing your feelings, and it’s actually quite common. Therapists are trained with tools and techniques specifically designed to help you open up in a way that feels comfortable and natural. You don’t need to worry about knowing exactly what to say or how to say it – your therapist will gently guide the conversation and create a space where you can share at your own pace. Over time, many clients find that it becomes easier to express themselves, and you’ll have the support you need every step of the way.

How much time do I need to commit, and how long will therapy take?

Most people start with one hour of therapy each week, which helps build a strong relationship with the therapist and ensures consistent progress. Depending on your needs, you might choose sessions every other week or more frequently, such as twice a week. The right frequency can depend on your personal needs and what you’re working on in therapy. Your therapist will help you find a schedule that works best for you.

The overall length of therapy varies from person to person. Some may find a few sessions sufficient to address specific concerns, while others may benefit from several months or longer for more complex challenges. Your therapist will collaborate with you to set a timeline that aligns with your goals and ensures meaningful progress.

Can I pause, cancel, or reschedule therapy sessions?

Yes, you can pause therapy sessions if needed. Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes you may require a break for personal reasons, scheduling conflicts, or to reflect on your progress. Your well-being is our priority, and taking a break can be a valuable part of your therapeutic journey. It’s completely okay to pause sessions.

If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, please notify your therapist as soon as possible. We recommend providing at least 24 hours’ notice to avoid any cancellation fees. Your therapist will work with you to find a new time that fits your schedule. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

Is therapy with Lama confidential?

Yes, therapy is a private place. What you talk about with your Lama therapist stays between you and them. They will not tell anyone else what you share, unless someone is in danger or if there is a serious risk, like hurting yourself or someone else. It’s important for you to feel safe when you talk, and your therapist will keep your secrets safe. If you have questions about privacy, you can always ask your therapist.

What makes Lama different from other therapy platforms?

Lama focuses on connecting clients with highly vetted therapists through a personalized, judgment-free experience.

Is Lama available for NRIs seeking therapy?

Yes, Lama offers online therapy services for NRIs as well. Our therapists are equipped to work with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and time zones. Whether you're in India or living abroad, you can connect with a vetted therapist who understands your needs and provides support tailored to your unique experiences.
