Online therapist and psychologist for people in Pune
Mindly is online-only. We have no clinic in Pune; every session is by video. Our clinical psychologists offer therapy in English and Hindi.
Last updated 2 November 2026
Languages and who you can see
Therapy for people in Pune is with Ms. Janvi Khokhar and Ms. Kamakshi Sabharwal, who both offer therapy in English and Hindi. Marathi is widely spoken in Pune, and we are clear that no Mindly clinician speaks Marathi yet, so we cannot offer therapy in Marathi at present. If English or Hindi is a comfortable second language for you, these sessions can still work well, and you can change your mind after a session or two. Our psychiatrists can consult in several other languages, which can be useful if you also want medical care.

Living and working in Pune
- Study, work and being far from home. People who move to Pune for study or work often meet the same pressures: new routines, uncertain futures and few close friends nearby. Therapy can help you make sense of those pressures and build habits and relationships that hold up when things get hard.
- Fitting therapy into a timetable. Lectures, labs, shifts and commutes leave limited time. Online sessions remove travel and can be booked at set times each week. Keeping the same slot is more useful than finding a perfect one, so choose a time that you can protect.
- Therapy for a first-time client. If you have never seen a psychologist, the first session is simply a conversation. You do not need a diagnosis or a plan. Say what is bothering you, ask what therapy involves, and decide at the end whether you want to continue.
- In an emergency. Mindly is not an emergency service. If you or someone else in Pune is in immediate danger, call 112 or go to the nearest hospital. Tele-MANAS (14416) is a free national helpline, available at any hour.
Concerns people in Pune bring
The concerns below are among those our clinical psychologists see most often from people across India. Each page explains the signs, how it is assessed and what support can look like.
What therapy looks like in practice
A first session usually covers what brought you and what you hope will change. Your psychologist then suggests a way of working. For worry and low mood that is often cognitive behavioural therapy, which helps you notice and test the thoughts and habits that keep a problem going. For OCD it may be exposure and response prevention, and for strong emotions or relationship patterns it may be skills-based or longer-term work. Sessions are normally weekly and about an hour, with regular reviews of whether the plan is helping. Between sessions your psychologist may suggest short practice tasks, such as a sleep routine, a worry diary or a small step towards something you have been avoiding. Students may be asked to fit these around lectures and exams, and professionals around meetings and travel. If your internet is patchy in a hostel or shared flat, mention it early so that a back-up plan, such as a voice call, can be agreed in advance.

Therapy and psychiatry together
Many people benefit from therapy alone. A psychiatrist is worth adding if sleep or appetite have changed sharply, if you have thoughts of harming yourself, or if your psychologist suspects a condition such as bipolar disorder or ADHD that needs a medical assessment. Psychologists do not prescribe. Because the teams work together, you do not have to start over, and information is shared only with your consent.

Common questions
Can I have therapy in Marathi?
Not yet. No Mindly clinician speaks Marathi at the moment, so therapy is in English or Hindi.
Is there a clinic in Pune I can visit?
No. Mindly is online-only and has no clinic or walk-in service in Pune.
Can I have therapy while living in a hostel or shared flat?
Yes, if you can find a private spot. Many students use a quiet room, a study space or a walk with headphones, and your psychologist can help you plan around privacy.
Can my parents join the session?
If you agree, yes. Some people like a parent to hear part of the discussion, and some prefer sessions on their own.
How do I know if therapy is working?
Your psychologist will review goals with you after a few sessions. Small changes in sleep, mood or avoidance are often the first signs.
