Frequently Asked Questions

What is Beyond Echoes?

Beyond Echoes is a therapy space that offers a body-based and depth-oriented approach to healing. My work is informed by Somatic Experiencing, Bodynamics, Process-Oriented Psychology, Yoga and depth psychology.

This approach is not about quick fixes. It is about understanding patterns, restoring ways to regulate your nervous system and building a deeper relationship with yourself.

Who does this therapy approach work best for?

This therapy approach may be meaningful if you are experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, developmental or complex trauma, grief, relationship issues, identity questions, life transitions, or feel disconnected from your body or inner life. It is suitable for those who want to work slowly and by focusing on their nervous system.

How is body-based therapy different from talk therapy?

Body-based therapy includes conversation, but also pays close attention to sensations, emotions, impulses and patterns shaped by the nervous system. The body often holds experiences that words alone cannot access. Working with the body helps build regulation, safety and integration rather than only intellectual insight.

Will the sessions involve physical movements or touch?

Sessions may include small movements, breath awareness, posture exploration or noticing sensations. There is no physical touch as the sessions are online. egulation practices involving self–touch may be a part of some sessions. Every movement requires your consent and will happen at a pace that feels safe.

How long does therapy usually last?

There is no fixed timeline. Some need short-term support for a specific phase, while others choose long-term therapy. The duration depends on your needs, life context, and what unfolds in the process.

How often are sessions scheduled?

Sessions are usually scheduled once a week or every alternate week. The frequency is discussed and may change over time depending on what supports your nervous system and life circumstances.

Is online therapy effective?

Yes. I work entirely online, and body-based work can be done effectively through virtual sessions. Many clients find that being in their own space actually supports regulation and safety.

What languages do you work in?

I speak English, Hindi and Tamil.

How much does a session cost?

Fees vary depending on location and frequency. Details are shared after the introductory session or on request. Concessions are considered in specific situations.

What is your cancellation policy?

Sessions cancelled less than 48 hours before the scheduled appointment will be charged in full.

For clarity, if a session is scheduled for 9:00 AM IST on Tuesday and you want to cancel, you need to inform me by 9:00 AM IST on Sunday. Indian Standard Time will be used as the reference for all cancellations, regardless of the client’s location or time zone.

Exceptions may be considered in the event of emergencies or unforeseen circumstances.

This supports the therapeutic framework and respects the time held for you.

How do you know if we are a good fit?

The introductory session can help you decide. Therapy is a relational process, and feeling safe, respected and understood is important.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes. All sessions are confidential within ethical and legal limits.

Is this approach suitable for trauma survivors and early life experiences?

Yes. A significant part of my work deals with trauma, including developmental and complex challenges, early relational wounds and experiences that may not have been fully processed at the time they occurred. Trauma is understood as not only what happened, but also how the nervous system adapted to survive.

The therapy room offers a slow and contained space where we can approach these patterns with care.

Through body-based and depth-oriented approaches such as Somatic Experiencing, Bodynamics, Process-Oriented Psychology and Yoga, the work focuses on restoring regulation, choice and a sense of safety rather than revisiting experiences in an overwhelming way.

Your nervous system and what feels manageable in the present alone will guide the pace of our sessions.

Should I know what I want from therapy before starting a session?

Having some clarity about what brings you to therapy can be helpful and support our journey. But this is not essential. Many seek therapy because they feel stuck, confused or unsettled. Therapy offers space for these feelings to be explored slowly. Understanding often emerges as this process unfolds.
