For students, professionals and families in Australia

Australian clients often talk about homesickness and isolation, stress about studies, work or visas, anger and irritability from exhaustion, and relationship or family tension across two countries. Because India is behind Australia, sessions fall in your afternoon or evening, after work or classes.

Session times

Sessions run Monday to Saturday, 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM IST. In Sydney and Melbourne that is 4:30 PM to 11:30 PM during daylight saving (AEDT) and 3:30 PM to 10:30 PM in winter (AEST); in Brisbane 3:30 PM to 10:30 PM; and in Perth 1:30 PM to 8:30 PM.
