These are examples from seven cities, not a complete directory, city averages or a ranking of clinical quality. ElloMind is included as the publisher’s own service. Qualifications and experience are provider-stated. Missing information stays “not published”; a team’s experience varies by practitioner. A source-check date confirms when we read the page, not when the provider last changed its prices. Fees may cover different appointment lengths, first visits or follow-ups. We list published taxes and flag missing charge details. Package prices, introductory calls, psychiatric consultations and assessments are not combined with therapy-session prices. ## What do couples therapy packages cost? Some providers price multi-session bundles instead of, or alongside, single sessions. A package can lower the per-session fee while increasing the upfront payment. These totals are not single-session fees. __Published couples package examples checked 15 September 2026__ | Provider | Package | Total | Per session | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------- | -------------------- | | Nirali Bhatia (Mumbai) | Relationship Renewal: 6 couples sessions (60 minutes each)Includes 18% GST; payable upfront; valid 6 months. | ₹17,842 | ≈ ₹2,974 per session | | Untangle | Couples package: 4 sessions (60 minutes each)GST included; separate from the single-session fee. | ₹9,996 | ≈ ₹2,499 per session | Before buying a package, confirm the number of sessions, validity, cancellation and refund terms, and whether the discount applies to a standard or reduced fee. 03 / Estimate ongoing spending ## How much should we budget each month? Multiply the fee by the number of appointments. For ElloMind couples sessions, four appointments at ₹800 cost **₹3,200**; at ₹1,999 they cost **₹7,996**. A higher chosen fee increases the total. These are pay-per-session examples, before any package savings. __Pay-per-session examples before extra charges__ | Fee per session | 2 sessions | 4 sessions | | --------------- | ---------- | ---------- | | ₹800 | ₹1,600 | ₹3,200 | | ₹1,999 | ₹3,998 | ₹7,996 | | ₹3,000 | ₹6,000 | ₹12,000 | These are arithmetic examples, not a recommended schedule.

ElloMind offers sliding-scale payment for couples sessions. 2. **Check support you already have.** Ask your workplace or a university clinic about included or lower-cost couples counselling and confidentiality. 3. **Compare the full commitment.** Before a package, check the total payment, sessions, expiry, cancellation and refund terms. 4. **Agree a sustainable plan together.** Talk about budget and session frequency with the therapist, and revisit it if circumstances change. A question you can use “We’re working within a monthly budget. What would the full cost per session be, and do you offer a reduced fee or a lower-cost option for couples?” ## Where can we find free or low-cost support? Free couples-specific counselling is limited, but a national helpline can offer immediate support and point you toward further care. Free telephone support · 24/7 ### Tele-MANAS India’s national mental health helpline offers telephone support and links to further care. A helpline call is different from a recurring appointment with a couples therapist.

Online couples sessions remove travel for both partners and are sometimes priced lower. The session fee itself is not always cheaper, so compare the provider’s quoted fee for each format. * **Online:** both partners need a private space and a reliable connection; you can join from different locations if needed. * **In-person:** include travel and time away from work for two people. ## Common questions about couples therapy cost How much does couples therapy cost in India? + The named provider examples in this guide range from ₹800 to ₹6,000 for a single couples session, depending on the practitioner, city and format. ElloMind offers couples sessions on a sliding scale from ₹800\. These are provider examples, not a national average or a price limit. Confirm the fee and session length with your chosen provider. Is couples therapy more expensive than individual therapy? + Sometimes, because a couples session involves two people and can run longer, but not always. Compare the quoted fee for the same appointment length and format. ElloMind uses the same sliding-scale floor of ₹800 for individual, couples and teen sessions. How much does marriage counselling cost per month? + Multiply the session fee by the number of appointments you agree on. At ElloMind’s ₹800 couples sliding-scale fee, two sessions cost ₹1,600 and four cost ₹3,200\. At the ₹1,999 standard couples rate, two sessions total ₹3,998, before any plan discounts. Many couples start with weekly or fortnightly sessions. Is online couples therapy cheaper than in-person? + Online sessions can remove travel for both partners and are sometimes priced lower, but the session fee depends on the provider. Compare the quoted fee, appointment length and any extra charges, and make sure both partners have a private space to join from. Do couples therapy packages save money? + They can lower the per-session fee while increasing what you pay upfront. Published couples packages include six-session and four-session bundles. Before buying, check the total payment, number of sessions, validity, cancellation and refund terms, and whether the discount applies to a standard or a reduced fee. Does health insurance cover couples therapy in India? + Coverage depends on your policy. The Mental Healthcare Act requires mental illness cover on the same basis as physical illness, but that does not mean every policy reimburses outpatient couples or relationship counselling. Ask your insurer about your specific policy before booking. What if we cannot afford couples therapy? + Ask about reduced fees or a sliding scale, university training clinics, or counselling included through work. Tele-MANAS provides free telephone mental health support on 1800-89-14416, 24/7\. A helpline call is different from a recurring appointment with a couples therapist. How much does couples therapy cost at ElloMind? + ElloMind couples sessions use a ₹800–₹1,999+ sliding scale for 50 minutes, in Malayalam or English, with both partners joining. Pay after the session; multi-session plans are optional and separately priced. ## Sources and price notes Updated 15 September 2026.
