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.

Parents & caregivers

Holding everyone, and held by no one.

Caregiving is the work nobody counts. Raising children, managing an ageing parent, often both in the same decade, while being told this is simply what family means. You are allowed to find it hard.

Find your right-fit therapist How it works & pricing

The short answer

This is for parents, and for anyone carrying the care of someone else: an ageing parent, a sibling who needs support, a partner who is unwell. We do not hand out parenting techniques or ask you to be more grateful. We work on the load, the guilt attached to putting any of it down, and what is left of you underneath.

Parenting

You are raising them differently, and it is lonelier than expected.

Many Indian parents are trying to do something their own parents did not do: talk about feelings, apologise, allow a no. There is no script for it, and often no support at home.

The unspoken part

"I am parenting the way I wish I had been parented, and it is bringing everything up."

What we work on

The moment you hear your mother's voice come out of your mouth. Repair after you lose your temper. Disagreeing with your co-parent in front of a watching household. And what your own childhood is asking of you now.

Caring for parents

The role reverses, and nobody announces it.

One day you are managing appointments, medication and money for the people who raised you, while grieving them before they have gone.

Anticipatory grief, which is real grief and rarely gets called that.
Old resentment surfacing at exactly the moment you are expected to be gentle.
Siblings who help unevenly, and the conversations nobody starts.
Doing it from another country, at three in the morning, on the phone.

Before you begin

Questions caregivers ask first.

Is this parenting coaching?+

No. We are not going to give you a discipline framework. This is therapy for the person doing the caring, which is a different job and usually the one going unattended.

I do not have time for weekly sessions.+

Fortnightly works, and so does a shorter block of focused work. Tell your therapist what is realistic and they will build around it rather than treating it as resistance.

I feel guilty even booking this.+

That is one of the most common sentences we hear from caregivers, and it is worth bringing into the first session rather than waiting until it passes.

Can we do sessions with my co-parent?+

Yes. Some couples use joint sessions specifically for co-parenting rather than the relationship. Say so at intake and we will match you accordingly.

My child needs support, not me.+

We work with adults. If your child needs care we will say so honestly and point you toward child and adolescent specialists rather than stretching beyond our scope.
