Adult Counselling in Saket

Adult counselling in Saket is therapy for you, booked by you, with nobody else in the loop. The short answer is our Malviya Nagar centre, because we do not have a centre in Saket. Most people who contact us have been thinking about it for a year or more, so if you are only at the point of reading a page about it, that is a normal place to start.

Which eMbrace centre Saket families use

Our centre is not in Saket. It is in Malviya Nagar, one Yellow Line stop north of Saket metro station, at FC-29, Plot No. 5, Geetanjali, beside Malviya Nagar Metro Station Gate No. 1. By road it is a short run up Press Enclave Marg.

It is worth saying that plainly, because a good many clinic pages that rank for Saket are describing a room somewhere else entirely. Ours is the closest eMbrace centre to Saket, and for most families in Saket, Sainik Farms and Pushp Vihar it is the nearest specialist child psychology service of any kind.

The centre runs inside Rainbow Children's Hospital, which is the practical reason a child who turns out to need occupational therapy, speech therapy or physiotherapy after an assessment does not have to be referred out to a second address.

The obstacle for most adults is not the fee, it is the working week. Sessions run weekly, and the slots that survive are early morning, late evening and weekends rather than the middle of a working day. Tell us what your week looks like and we will say honestly whether we can fit it, rather than booking you into something you start cancelling by week four.

For parking, the nearest drop-off point and the quickest route at your particular time of day, ask on the intake call. Traffic and parking around every one of these centres change enough through the day that current directions from someone who works there beat anything we could fix on a web page.

When counselling is worth starting

There is no threshold you have to cross to deserve therapy, and the commonest reason people give for not starting sooner is that other people have it worse. That is true of almost everyone and it is not a useful test. A more useful one is whether something has been going on long enough that you have stopped expecting it to lift on its own.

• Low mood, anxiety or irritability that has become the normal setting rather than a bad patch
• Burnout: still functioning at work, running on empty, and no longer recovering at weekends
• A bereavement, separation, diagnosis or move that has not settled the way you assumed it would
• The same pattern repeating across relationships, jobs or friendships
• Drinking, working or scrolling noticeably more in order to not think about something

Anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, workplace stress, trauma and relationship difficulties each have their own page on our adult mental health hub.

What the first session is like, and who knows about it

The first session is a conversation, not an assessment. By the end you should have a plain-language account of what seems to be going on and a suggested way of working. You are not obliged to continue and you will not be sold a package.

On discretion, which people ask about far more than method: what you say stays between you and your therapist. Nothing reaches your employer, family or doctor without your written consent, including where an employer is paying. The only limit is serious risk.

What adults come to us with here

From Saket the two commonest presentations are burnout in people in their thirties and forties who are still performing at work, and anxiety in parents of school-age children who arrived here through their own child being seen and recognised something of themselves in it.

The second route is more common than people expect. A meaningful number of adults in this catchment first contact us as a parent and end up booking for themselves, which is not a detour and often the more useful piece of work.

Who you would see at our Malviya Nagar centre

Dr Supriya Malik, Founder and CEO

PhD in Developmental Psychology from the University of Birmingham, where she was also a postdoctoral researcher, and a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society in the UK. She works across the lifespan, including anxiety and depression in adults, and designed the pathways every eMbrace centre runs.

At our Malviya Nagar centre, the clinicians who take this work are:

Taranpreet Kaur, Clinical Psychologist

M.Phil in Clinical Psychology with distinction, plus a Post Graduate Diploma in School Counselling from Symbiosis. ACT and MBCT for anxiety, depression, OCD and trauma, and comprehensive psychological assessment. Works in English, Hindi and Punjabi.

Which of them you see is decided on the intake call rather than by whoever has the next free slot, and you are told who it will be before you book. Fuller biographies are on our about page.

Schools and services we already work with

Some of the adult work we do around Saket runs through employers and partner services rather than through this website, which is often how someone first reaches us.

Since 2025 we have delivered corporate workshops with Atypical Advantage on inclusivity and neurodiversity, autism awareness and mental health awareness.

Where a child or adult needs psychiatric input, we work with Sukoon across Delhi NCR for psychiatric assessment, consultation and medication management, so you are not left to find a psychiatrist yourself.

Fees, how long it runs, and couples work

Fees are quoted upfront on your intake call, before anything is booked. Where an employer or partner service is funding the work, we tell you how many sessions that covers before you start rather than when it runs out.

Focused work on a specific difficulty often runs eight to twelve sessions. Long-standing patterns and trauma work run considerably longer, and we say which we think applies rather than leaving you to find out. Couples work is a separate strand, starting with a joint session and an individual session with each partner.
