What is the difference between burnout and depression?

Burnout is usually tied to a context, most often work, and tends to lift when the load or the meaning changes. Depression is more pervasive and follows you across situations. They overlap and can feed each other, which is why it helps to talk it through with someone rather than self-diagnose.

How do I know if I am burnt out or just lazy?

Laziness is a choice to avoid something you could do. Burnout is running out of the fuel to do things you genuinely care about. If rest does not restore you and even small tasks feel enormous, that is not laziness. It is depletion.

Can therapy help if my job is the actual problem?

Yes. Therapy will not pretend a toxic workplace is in your head. It helps you see the situation clearly, protect your health inside it, and make grounded decisions about what to change, including whether to stay.

I feel anxious about layoffs and AI. Is that worth therapy?

Absolutely. Survival anxiety and the fear of your identity collapsing with your job are real and increasingly common. Naming that fear, and separating your worth from your output, is exactly the kind of work therapy is good at.

Do you offer support for teams or companies?

Yes. We run culturally-fluent workplace and campus programs that people actually trust enough to use. You can read more on our page for organisations.

Couples therapy

For the two of you, and the pressure around you.

Very few Indian relationships are only between two people. There are families with opinions, a timeline everyone else seems to be holding, and often a distance measured in time zones. Couples work here takes all of that seriously.

Find your right-fit therapist How it works & pricing

The short answer

Couples therapy at Fenweh is for any two people in a relationship: married, dating, engaged, long distance, queer, intercaste, interfaith, or trying to decide whether to continue. Sessions are sixty minutes and online, so partners in different cities or countries can join from separate screens. Your therapist is not there to award blame or to keep you together at any cost.

What couples bring

It is rarely the argument you are having.

Most couples arrive with a recurring fight and discover it is a stand-in for something neither of them has said out loud yet.

The surface

"We keep fighting about my parents visiting."

The thing underneath

Whose family gets to set the terms. Whether one of you is allowed to have a limit. What it costs to be the one who always accommodates. That is the conversation therapy is actually for.

Who this is for

Five situations we see most weeks.

The family is a third person in the marriage.

Joint households, in-law dynamics, and the expectation that a couple is a subsidiary of two families rather than a unit of its own.

You are in different countries.

Long distance strains differently. The logistics look solvable, so nobody admits how lonely it has become.

Your relationship is not out to everyone.

Queer couples often manage two versions of the relationship at once. That double life is exhausting, and it is worth naming as work.

Caste, faith or class sits between you.

Not as an abstraction, but as a set of real decisions about weddings, children, and who gets told what.

You are deciding whether to continue.

Therapy is allowed to help you separate well. That is a legitimate outcome, not a failed one.

Before you begin

Questions couples ask first.

Will the therapist take sides?+

No. Their client is the relationship, not either of you individually. If one of you is being harmed, they will say so plainly, but they are not there to declare a winner.

What if my partner does not want to come?+

Start on your own. Individual therapy about a relationship is real work, and it is common for a reluctant partner to join later once they see it is not an ambush.

Can we join from different locations?+

Yes, and many couples do. Two screens, two rooms, one session. For long-distance and diaspora couples this is usually the only workable format.

Is couples therapy suitable if there is abuse?+

Not as a first step. Joint sessions can make things less safe when there is coercion or violence. Tell us at intake and we will match you with individual support instead.

Do you only work with married couples?+

No. Dating, engaged, partnered, polyamorous, long distance, queer, and couples who are not out to their families are all welcome. You do not need a label to book.
