Counseling for NRI (Non-Resident Indian)

How Does Living Outside India Impact Mental Wellbeing?

Living outside India is associated with new experiences, opportunities as well as growth. But it is also capable of making things emotional, confusing and lonely. Managing cultural adjustments, workplace pressures, family demands and identity conflicts can at times be daunting when you are living in a new country. Most NRIs keep these emotional loads to themselves since they believe that no one can grasp their minds and cultural orientations.

We plan to ensure that every Indian of foreign descent, wherever they are, feels supported, heard and stronger as well as become emotional.

Why Many NRIs Prefer Counseling From an Indian Counselor

Those who emigrate to foreign countries frequently say that they feel mentally relaxed when discussing with someone who is aware of the emotional composition of Indian families. Many of our clients find us after going to a counselor in their country. Most of the time they do not feel heard, as the counselors from other countries are not able to relate to the problems NRIs face. Our relationships, connection with parents, traditions, and expectations do not coincide with the western culture. This variance is significant to the way of stressing, happiness, and making decisions.

A natural comfort zone may be formed when working with a counselor based in India:

There is no need to elaborate on every cultural aspect

Arranged marriage pressure, family obligation, comparison with others in employment, involvement of extended family, parenting style etc are things that are naturally understood.

Emotions are perceived in the right way

The NRIs experience the feeling of being misunderstood when they attempt to explain cultural stress to a foreign counselor. Having an Indian therapist, your emotions are quite understandable.

Language comfort

There are occasions when feelings run deeper when communicated in their own Mother Tongue combined with English. We favour any combinations comfortably.

Clarity without judgement

You have the freedom to express yourself and be vulnerable without the fear of being judged or misunderstood by some cultural differences.

These minute compliments render counseling more effective and suspending. NRIs are fond of telling how they can talk to an Indian counselor and finally feel as though they understand each other.
