## How Professionals Get Listed in This Directory

We maintain transparency about how this directory is compiled. Every professional listed here meets the following criteria:

1. **Government-verified where possible** — We cross-reference against the official [RCI National Register](https://rciregistration.nic.in/rehabcouncil/newsearch%5Fmodify.jsp). Verified professionals show a green RCI badge with their CRR number.
2. **Publicly listed practice** — The professional must appear on at least one public directory (Practo, Lybrate, JustDial, Google Maps) or have a verifiable clinic website.
3. **Active practice in Kerala** — We include only professionals currently practising in Kerala or offering online sessions to Kerala residents.
4. **Contact information available** — At minimum, a phone number or website must be publicly available so users can reach the professional.
5. **No paid placements** — This directory does not accept payment for listings or preferential positioning. All professionals are listed alphabetically within their city.

To suggest a professional for inclusion or report incorrect information, email [info@ellomind.com](mailto:info@ellomind.com).

## How We Evaluate Therapists in This Directory

Every professional listed here is evaluated against the following criteria to help you make an informed decision.

1 

### Legal Licensing (RCI Registration)

In India, "Clinical Psychologist" is a legally protected title. For clinical practice, a professional must be registered with the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) and hold a valid CRR Number. We cross-reference professionals against the official RCI national register and mark verified entries with a green "RCI Verified" badge. Counselling psychologists with Master's degrees handle everyday challenges like stress, relationships, and career guidance but are not permitted to provide clinical diagnoses.

2 

### Clinical & Professional Expertise

We prioritize therapists with advanced training such as MPhil in Clinical Psychology, specialized RCI-recognized diplomas, and 5+ years of experience in their area. We also look for evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and Trauma-Informed Therapy.

3 

### Language & Cultural Accessibility

For Kerala, a critical criterion is conducting therapy in Malayalam, as people express deep emotions more naturally in their mother tongue. We also evaluate therapist-client matching quality, affordability across different budgets, and whether platforms offer transparent pricing.

4 

### Safety & Privacy Standards

Platforms and practitioners must use encrypted video calling with clear privacy policies to protect personal and emotional data. We also check whether they have established crisis protocols for urgent situations like suicidal ideation.

### Quick Guide: Choosing the Right Therapist

**Verify Licensing** Check RCI registration (CRR number) for clinical psychologists. Counselling psychologists should hold an MA/MSc with supervised training.

**Match Specialization** Anxiety needs CBT training. Couples issues need EFT experience. Children need a child/adolescent specialist. Trauma needs EMDR or TF-CBT.

**Language Match** Choose a therapist fluent in your preferred language. Most Kerala therapists offer Malayalam and English sessions.

**Book an Initial Session** Many therapists offer a first consultation to check fit. Use it to assess comfort, communication style, and whether you feel heard.

### Psychologist vs Psychiatrist vs Counsellor

| Psychologist         | Psychiatrist                     | Counsellor                        |                                |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| Qualification        | MPhil / PhD Clinical Psychology  | MBBS + MD / DPM Psychiatry        | MA / MSc Psychology            |
| Prescribe medicine?  | No                               | Yes                               | No                             |
| Primary approach     | Talk therapy (CBT, EFT, EMDR)    | Medication + diagnosis            | Supportive counselling         |

## Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the right psychologist in Kerala? + 

Look for RCI (Rehabilitation Council of India) registration, relevant qualifications (MPhil or PhD in Clinical Psychology for clinical work), specialization matching your concern, language comfort (Malayalam or English), and whether they offer online or in-person sessions. A good first step is booking an initial consultation to see if the therapist is a comfortable fit.

What is the difference between a psychologist, psychiatrist, and counsellor? + 

A **psychologist** (MPhil/PhD in Clinical Psychology) provides talk therapy and psychological assessments but cannot prescribe medication. A **psychiatrist** (MBBS + MD/DPM in Psychiatry) is a medical doctor who can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. A **counsellor** (MA/MSc in Psychology or Counselling) provides supportive counselling for everyday challenges, relationships, and personal growth. For most mental health concerns, starting with a psychologist is recommended.

How much does therapy cost in Kerala? + 

Therapy fees in Kerala typically range from ₹500 to ₹2,000 per session. Hospital-based psychologists may charge ₹600 to ₹1,500, while private practitioners generally charge ₹800 to ₹2,000\. Online therapy platforms like ElloMind offer sessions at ₹1,499 for a full 50-minute session with qualified psychologists.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy? + 

Yes. Research published in _The Lancet Psychiatry_ and other peer-reviewed journals shows that online therapy (video-based) is as effective as in-person sessions for conditions like anxiety, depression, OCD, and stress. Online therapy also removes travel barriers, offers more flexible scheduling, and can feel more comfortable for people who find visiting a clinic intimidating.

Can I get therapy in Malayalam? + 

Yes. Most psychologists listed in this directory speak both Malayalam and English. Online therapy platforms like ElloMind specifically offer sessions in Malayalam and English, making therapy accessible to Malayalis anywhere in the world, including those in the Gulf, US, UK, and other countries.

How do I know if I need therapy? + 

Consider therapy if you experience persistent sadness or anxiety lasting more than two weeks, difficulty managing daily tasks, relationship problems, sleep disturbances, overwhelming stress, grief, trauma, or if you feel stuck and unable to move forward. Therapy is not only for people in crisis. It is also helpful for personal growth, better relationships, and managing life transitions.

What qualifications should a psychologist have in India? + 

For clinical work, look for an MPhil in Clinical Psychology (the minimum RCI-recognized clinical qualification in India) or a PhD in Clinical Psychology. For counselling, an MA or MSc in Psychology with supervised training is standard. Always check for RCI (Rehabilitation Council of India) registration for clinical psychologists, as it ensures they meet national standards.

Which type of therapy is best for anxiety? + 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is the most well-researched and recommended therapy for anxiety disorders. For specific phobias, Exposure Therapy works well. For trauma-related anxiety, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Trauma-Focused CBT are effective. Your psychologist will recommend the best approach based on your specific symptoms and needs.

How many therapy sessions will I need? + 

This varies by individual and concern. Many people notice improvement in 6 to 12 sessions. CBT for anxiety or depression typically runs 12 to 20 sessions. OCD treatment (ERP) usually takes 12 to 20 sessions. Couples therapy may take 8 to 20 sessions. Your therapist will discuss a treatment plan during your initial sessions and adjust as needed.

Is therapy confidential in India? + 

Yes. Psychologists in India are bound by professional ethics codes (RCI Code of Ethics) that require strict confidentiality. Your therapist cannot share what you discuss in sessions with anyone, including family members, without your written consent. The only exceptions are when there is an imminent risk to your safety or someone else's safety.
