4 Things You Should Know Before Trusting Us With Your Mental Health
Clinical Psychologists Lead your Care
Not every therapist is a clinical psychologist. Our clinical psychologists have advanced training in understanding, assessing and treating mental health concerns, and can bring in one of our psychiatrists if they feel that your care needs medical support.
We Understand You Before your Treatment Starts
Most therapists get to know you gradually over several sessions. We get to know you before your treatment even begins. We conduct structured conversations, use assessments, and specialised tools to understand you more clearly before we begin your treatment.
Experts with 30+ yrs of Experience Guide your Care
A much senior team of experts reviews your treatment and your progress every step of the way to ensure that your care meets the highest standards of care.
Your Treatment Comes with a Clear End Date
You probably don’t want your treatment to drag on forever, neither do we. From the start, we set clear goals and an expected timeline for your treatment. We review your progress along the way, so therapy does not continue longer than you need it.
This is What Your First Session Will Look Like
You Meet 2 Experts for 90 Minutes
In your first appointment, you will meet both, a clinical psychologist and a psychiatrist to understand your symptoms, history, and mental health needs.
You Get Clarity on What’s Going On
From the results of your assessments, we'll find the exact root cause of what you are experiencing, rather than just looking at the surface symptoms.
You get a Treatment Plan Made Just for You
You'll then get a treatment plan built around you, combining therapy, medication if needed, and strategies that actually fit your life.
You Keep Getting Support as You Improve
From here, you'll have ongoing support with regular follow-ups and progress checks, so you're never left managing things on your own.

Every Part of Your Care is Covered
Psychology
Psychology at BetterPlace is all about understanding your mind. Together with our clinical psychologists, you will explore your behavioral patterns and emotions, & use those insights to navigate your challenges.
We take the most effective psychological techniques, and tailor them to your unique needs, to help you progress to a better place, faster.
Counselling
Counsellors at BetterPlace provide a safe space for you to discuss your thoughts, feelings, & experiences. In the process, they build a deep therapeutic relationship with you that fosters self-discovery led growth.
Through counselling, you gain valuable insights into yourself, develop coping skills, and embark on a journey of transformation.
Assessments
Assessments serve as a compass to unlock ‘correct’ care.
At BetterPlace, we use clinical, psychological, and psychometric assessments to build diagnostic accuracy, and get unique insights about you that enable us to personalise your treatment.
When administered at regular intervals, they help us monitor and quantify your progress over time.
Psychiatry
Psychiatry at BetterPlace is much more than medication – it is evidence-based, comprehensive support.
We begin with a clinical assessment of your needs, and then personalise your treatment plans to accelerate your recovery.
With our psychiatrists, you find compassionate care that addresses not just symptoms, but the root causes of your struggles.
Specialised services
At BetterPlace you will find, the most advanced treatments from around the globe, to help overcome conditions that no longer respond well to medication or therapy.
We offer Brain Stimulation via t-DCS, and r-TMS, which has given relief to ~60% of individuals with treatment-resistant Depression and OCD.
Anxiety
Anxiety can be more disruptive than it may initially appear. Our integrated team of therapists, psychiatrists and psychologists helps you identify and manage your harmful anxiety triggers through a personalised, result-driven approach.

Depression
Depression is real, but it is also misdiagnosed often. Through our deep domain expertise, we first identify the root cause of your depression, then offer holistic, evidence-based treatments.
Structured treatments ● Medication management ● Natural & alternate remedies
Bipolar
The exact cause of bipolar disorder is not fully understood, but it includes a combination of genetic, biological, and environmental factors. Imbalances in brain chemicals and changes in the structure or function of the brain may also play a role.
Multi-modal approach ● Holistic approach ● Medication Management
OCD
OCD is a complex disorder that can stem from multiple causes. Our care plans are designed to suit each patient’s unique needs and involve a combination of therapy, medication, and scientific techniques like rTMS.
Personalised therapy ● rTMS treatment ● Holistic care plan

Hear From our Patients and Their Caregivers!
“Depression felt like an endless tunnel with no way out. But from my first session at BetterPlace, I felt heard and understood. Dr. Akul and my therapist Ayushi were compassionate in their approach and guided me through every step of the way. They gave me the strength to keep moving forward.”
“My mood swings used to control my life. One day I’d be on top of the world, and the next one I couldn’t even get out of bed. BetterPlace helped me ride the emotional waves instead of drowning in them. Life is not perfect, but I’m finally learning to balance it”
“I never realised how much OCD was affecting my life until I got help. I used to think I was just being a perfectionist. I’d keep overcorrecting my work, every small mistake was impossible to ignore, even what wasnt a mistake but felt like it was also too hard to ignore. Now, I’ve learned tools that actually work, and I’m finally finding peace. Seriously, reaching out was the best decision I’ve made.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Not right away. In your first session, we’ll focus on understanding you—your concerns, thought patterns, emotional experiences, and any challenges you’ve been facing. Our psychologists and psychiatrists work together to carry out a thorough assessment, using the latest tools and clinical insights. Based on this, we’ll design a personalised treatment plan that’s right for you. Your actual treatment will begin after this in-depth evaluation, so we can make sure it’s truly tailored to your needs.
If your thoughts, emotions, or behaviours are starting to interfere with your daily life—whether it’s your relationships, work, sleep, or ability to focus—it’s a good idea to speak to a professional. You don’t need to wait for things to get worse. Feeling persistently low, overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in certain patterns, or simply not like yourself are all valid reasons to reach out. Getting support early can make a real difference.
Our approach is focused on long-term healing and meaningful change, not just quick fixes. We take the time to understand your unique experiences—your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and what might be triggering distress. Using evidence-based assessments, we develop a personalised treatment plan that may include therapy, medication, or a combination of both. Throughout the process, we offer consistent support to help you build resilience, develop healthier patterns, and stay on track even when things feel challenging.
Therapy sessions are 100% confidential and there is 0% judgement. The therapist will never share the details of your case with any professional who is not part of your treatment plan.
Yes, you’re welcome to bring a family member or friend for support during your appointments if you’d like.
The BetterPlace clinic is open from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm on Monday through Saturday.
Your first conversation with our psychologist will last around 45 minutes as it involves a detailed discussion about your needs, goals and history. A typical conversation with a psychiatrist could last anywhere between 15-20 mins, and on-going therapy sessions typically last 45-60 minutes, depending on your treatment plan and clinician’s recommendation.
There’s no one-size-fits-all treatment in mental health – each person needs a unique treatment plan, so the recovery period can also differ. However, most patients start seeing significant improvement in their day-to-day functioning and quality of life within 2-3 weeks of treatment. In fact, for certain advanced psychiatric treatments like accelerated rTMS (for Depression, OCD and Addictions), patients can start seeing results in a few days.
The frequency of therapy sessions will depend on your individual needs and treatment plan. Your clinician will discuss this with you during your first appointment.
Our psychiatrists and psychologists provide both online and offline consultancy. However, some specialised therapy techniques like relaxation therapy, rTMS or tDCS can only be administered in person, at our clinic.
