Why South Delhi tends to start online
From most of South Delhi, East Patel Nagar means a change of metro lines or a drive across the Ring Road. For a single visit that is fine. For therapy that runs weekly for two or three months, it is often the commute that ends the treatment, not the person's need for it.
So most people here begin online and keep going online, and come to the hub for a first psychiatric assessment or when they simply prefer a room to a screen.
Who reaches out from South Delhi
Professionals in demanding roles who feel it in their sleep and temper. Couples finding that two careers leave little room for each other. Parents worried about a teenager. Students at the universities and institutes in the south of the city, living away from home for the first time. People who have tried therapy before and want a clearer plan this time.
What links them is a wish for care that is discreet, well organised and fits around a full diary. The screening, done privately, gives everyone a clear starting point.
A second look at treatment that has stalled
Some people come after months of medicine or therapy that has not helped as much as they hoped. A psychiatrist at the hub can review the diagnosis, the medicines and what has been tried, and a psychologist can suggest a different therapy approach. Bring earlier prescriptions and reports to the first session, online or in person.
When you do come to East Patel Nagar
The hub is at 29/24, East Patel Nagar, New Delhi 110008. Patel Nagar station on the Blue Line is a short walk away.

- Violet Line to Mandi House, then Blue Line west

What the online sessions are like
Psychology sessions run by secure video, voice or chat, in English or Hindi, from any private room. Psychiatric consultations online follow India's Telemedicine Practice Guidelines: a registered psychiatrist can assess you and send an e-prescription, though a few medicines need an in-person visit first. Consultation fees are shared when you enquire.
