HIBISCUS COUNSELLING

 

Taking therapy for the first time can be hard. There’s doubt, uncertainty and confusion. Can this really help? Can we trust a stranger? Do I want to really do this?

If you never try, you will never know. We’re here to make the process as easy as possible for you. Taking a preliminary session doesn’t hurt.

You can pick your time slots once a counsellor is allowed to you! Also, confidentiality and data privacy is the most important thing for us. Your information is safe with us and you are safe with us!

Counselling Ventures of Hibiscus Foundation (NGO)

Aksheyaa Akilan and her team have also impacted 700+ clients by providing accessible and affordable counselling Services. The team also provides sliding scale and pro-bono counselling services for the underprivileged, minorities and vulnerable communities.

In September 2020, HFSW announced a Pro-bono counselling project and we now have a sliding scale. We wish to bring to your notice that this is not crisis counselling. We do not provide therapy for trauma, severe depression or any clinical disorders. The sessions are for those with mild to moderate symptoms of mental stress that includes but is not restricted to anxiety, loneliness, work-stress, and guidance counselling. The Pro-Bono counselling services are capped at 1+3 sessions (free of charge) , which includes the pre-assessment session as well. Beyond the Pro-Bono session or from the beginning, we are offering sliding scale payment for all the upcoming sessions between the price range of Rs. 200, Rs. 500, Rs. 1000, Rs. 1,500, Rs. 2000 and Rs. 2500 depending on the client's affordability.

The priority clients are to be from low-income backgrounds and those with family issues that may prevent them from seeking professional help.

WHAT IS PRO-BONO COUNSELLING?

PRO - BONO COUNSELLING IS FREE COUNSELLING PROVIDED FOR 1+3 SESSION FOR CLIENTS PREDOMINANTLY FOR:

  1. PEOPLE FROM UNDERPRIVILEGED BACKGROUND(S) AND MINORITIES

  2. PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
