About me

I'm Surabhi Pandey, a counselling psychologist, and Saarthi by Surabhi is my private practice. A saarthi is a guide: someone who helps you steer, not someone who drives for you. I work one-on-one, online, with adults dealing with anxiety, burnout, relationship patterns and low self-worth. My background includes both psychiatric and counselling settings, so I'm comfortable with everything from everyday stress to heavier, long-standing struggles. How it works: we begin with a 90-minute Clarity Session to understand what is going on and what you need. From there you can continue with follow-ups or choose a structured package, from 4 weeks to 12 months. There is no pressure to commit to more than the first session. I also share short, practical reels on Instagram at @saarthi.by_surabhi.

Frequently asked questions

Where should I start if I have never done therapy?

Start with The Clarity Session. It is a 90-minute one-on-one video session where you explain what is going on and Surabhi helps you understand it and decide a next step. You are not committing to anything beyond that one session. If you want ongoing support afterwards, you can add follow-up sessions or choose a package for anxiety, burnout, relationships or self-worth.

How much do sessions with Surabhi cost?

The Clarity Session (90 minutes) is ₹2,499 and is the best place to start. Follow-up sessions (60 minutes) are ₹1,499 each. If you want structured support, packages run from ₹4,999 (a Clarity Session plus two follow-ups) to ₹69,999 for 12 months of weekly sessions, and each package costs less per session than booking sessions one at a time. The price is shown on each service before you pay.

Is anxiety therapy online as effective as in-person therapy?

Yes, for most people anxiety therapy online works just as well as sitting with a therapist in person. The process is the same — understanding your triggers, working on unhelpful thought patterns, and practising coping techniques — and video or audio sessions let you choose from qualified psychologists across India instead of only those nearby. Many people also find it easier to open up about anxiety from their own space.

What happens in an anxiety therapy session?

In a typical anxiety therapy session, the psychologist first understands your symptoms, triggers, lifestyle, and history, and then works with you on techniques like cognitive restructuring, breathing exercises, and grounding. Early sessions focus on assessment and goal setting, while later sessions build on what is actually helping you. Nothing is forced — you share at a pace you are comfortable with.

Which anxiety therapy techniques are most effective?

The most commonly used anxiety therapy techniques include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, mindfulness and relaxation training, and structured breathing exercises. A counselling psychologist chooses the right mix based on whether you are dealing with constant worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, or situational stress. Practising these techniques between sessions is what creates lasting change.

How do I find reliable anxiety therapy near me?

Look for platforms and directories that list verified psychologists with their qualifications, specialisations, and genuine client reviews. Booking a short discovery call first is a good way to check whether you feel safe and comfortable with a therapist before committing. And if options in your city feel limited, you don't have to restrict yourself to an anxiety therapy near me search — online sessions connect you with qualified psychologists across India.

Can I get anxiety therapy in Hindi?

Yes. Many counselling psychologists in India offer anxiety therapy in Hindi, English, or a comfortable mix of both. Expressing your emotions in the language you think and feel in often makes therapy deeper and more effective, so it is completely fine to confirm a therapist's language preference before booking.

What is anxiety exposure therapy and does it really work?

Anxiety exposure therapy is a structured technique where you gradually and safely face the situations, thoughts, or objects that trigger fear instead of avoiding them. With repeated controlled exposure, the brain learns that the feared outcome is manageable, and the anxiety response steadily reduces. It is one of the most effective approaches for phobias, panic, and social anxiety, and works best under the guidance of a trained therapist.

Which stress management techniques actually work?

Stress management techniques that are consistently effective include deep breathing and grounding exercises, regular physical activity, a fixed sleep schedule, journaling, breaking big tasks into smaller steps, and setting clear boundaries around work and screen time. If stress continues for weeks or starts affecting your sleep, appetite, or mood, structured counselling support works better than self-help alone.

How to manage stress in the workplace?

Start by prioritising your tasks, taking short breaks between focused work, and setting boundaries around after-hours messages and calls. Communicating workload concerns early, avoiding constant multitasking, and using two-minute breathing exercises during the day also reduce pressure. If workplace stress begins affecting your sleep, health, or relationships, a counselling psychologist can help you address the root cause instead of just the symptoms.

How can students manage stress during exams?

Stress management for students works best when it combines a realistic study timetable, short regular breaks, proper sleep, and some daily physical movement. Simple habits like slow breathing before study sessions and avoiding all-nighters improve focus and reduce panic. If exam anxiety becomes constant or causes blanking out, avoidance, or physical symptoms, talking to a counsellor can help.

What is stress management in simple words?

In simple words, stress management means recognising what is creating pressure in your life and using healthy, deliberate methods to reduce its impact on your mind and body. This includes breathing exercises, physical activity, better time management, and talking to someone you trust. The goal is not to eliminate stress completely, but to stop it from harming your health, relationships, or performance.

How does relationship counselling work?

Relationship counselling usually begins with the counsellor understanding each person's perspective, the history of the conflict, and what both partners want to change. Sessions then focus on improving communication, identifying repeated harmful patterns, and building practical agreements between partners. It can be attended as a couple, and in many cases one partner can begin individually and involve the other later.

Can relationship counselling be done online?

Yes. Relationship counselling online is now very common in India, with sessions held over video or audio calls. It works especially well for couples with busy schedules, partners living in different cities, and anyone who prefers the privacy of home. What matters most is the counsellor's training and both partners' willingness to participate, not the location.

What is couple counselling and does it really help?

Couple counselling is a form of therapy where both partners work with a trained counsellor to resolve conflicts, improve communication, and rebuild trust. It helps most when both partners participate honestly, though even one partner starting alone often shifts the dynamic positively. Couples commonly seek it for repeated arguments, trust issues, emotional distance, or major relationship decisions.

How much does relationship counselling cost?

Relationship counselling with Surabhi starts with a 90-minute Clarity Session at ₹2,499, where you talk through what is happening and what you want to change. The 7-week Relationship Clarity package (₹9,999) covers one Clarity Session plus six follow-up sessions, and is built around understanding your own patterns in relationships.
