In today’s fast-paced, digitally driven, and overwhelming world, getting the right care for your mental health is as important as visiting a doctor for your physical health. And when you do decide to seek support, it’s important to choose an online therapist who understands you and accepts your reality.
If you are a Malayali, choosing a Malayali psychologist would mean that you don’t need to constantly explain yourself and your lived experiences to someone who does not understand your culture. And that often makes such a meaningful difference.
To help you make an informed choice, we’ve carefully compiled a list of the 10 best platforms offering Malayalam online counselling in Kerala and abroad, based on the following factors:
- Availability of Malayalam language therapists
- Therapist qualifications
- Range of services
- Accessibility and transparency
