How to read these tables

Each table shows what a package costs in total, what that works out at per session, and how much less that is than booking the same number of sessions one at a time. Nothing is hidden behind a quote.

Single sessions are always available at the standard rate. A package is only worth buying if you already expect to continue, so the free introductory call comes first for most people.

Packages are paid for in advance at checkout. Single sessions and the free call are arranged through the booking calendar.

One person

Individual session packages

A single individual session is Rs. 2,000 for 60 minutes. These packages bring the per-session price down the further ahead you book.

Every session in a package is the same 60-minute session with the same psychologist. The package changes the price, not the hour.

Two people

Couple session packages

A single couple session is Rs. 3,000 for 90 minutes. The extra half hour exists because two people need room to be heard inside one appointment.

Couple packages can also be used for family sessions, which run at the same 90-minute length and the same rate.

In writing

WhatsApp text chat plans

Text plans are priced by period rather than by session. You write when you can and receive replies on agreed days within an agreed window. It is not a live chat and it is not a crisis line.

Text plans suit a household where a spoken session would be overheard. They are the lowest-cost way to start with the practice.

How the saving is calculated

The saving is the difference between the package price and the same number of sessions bought one at a time at the standard rate. No other discount is applied on top, and no price here includes a joining fee, because there is not one.

The three tiers are deliberately the same proportions for individuals and couples: 15 per cent, then 20, then 25. The larger the commitment, the lower the per-session price.

  • Individual: 4 sessions save Rs. 1,200, 8 save Rs. 3,200, 12 save Rs. 6,000.
  • Couple: 3 sessions save Rs. 1,350, 6 save Rs. 3,600, 10 save Rs. 7,500.
  • Text plans are not discounted against a session rate, because they are not sold by the session.

Which package suits which situation

There is no correct answer, and anyone who gives you one before hearing the situation is guessing. These are the patterns that come up most often.

  • You are not sure counseling is for you. Start with the free call and a single session. Buy nothing in advance. Book the free call.
  • One specific decision or situation. Four individual sessions or three couple sessions is usually enough to work through one thing properly.
  • Something long-standing. Eight or twelve sessions, because the per-session price matters more when you already know you will continue.
  • You cannot speak privately at home. A text plan, starting at Rs. 1,000 for seven days, rather than a session package.
  • You are abroad and the time difference is awkward. A text plan removes the scheduling problem entirely.

What every package includes

The package changes the price and nothing else. Whatever you buy:

  • Every session is with psychologist Zahid Sohail, not a rotating panel.
  • English, Urdu or Punjabi, and you can move between them mid-sentence.
  • Video or audio for session packages; audio only is a normal choice.
  • The same confidentiality, within the limits set out in the privacy policy.
  • No diagnosis on paper, no prescription, and no medical certificate. Those are a psychiatrist or a physician.

Package validity, cancellations and refunds are set out on the terms and cancellation page, which is still being finalised. Ask before buying if the timing matters to you.

Questions, answered

Questions people ask.

Which counseling package is the best value?

Per session, the largest one in each set: 12 individual sessions at Rs. 1,500 each, or 10 couple sessions at Rs. 2,250 each. Best value only matters if you will actually use them, so most people start with a single session.

Do I have to buy a package?

No. Single sessions stay available at Rs. 2,000 for an individual and Rs. 3,000 for a couple, booked one at a time. Packages are a price option, not a requirement.

How much do counseling packages save?

Fifteen per cent at the smallest tier, 20 at the middle and 25 at the largest, for both individual and couple packages. In rupees that is between Rs. 1,200 and Rs. 7,500 depending on the package.

How do I pay for a package?

Packages and text plans are bought at checkout, which adds the package and takes you straight to payment. Single sessions and the free introductory call are arranged through the booking calendar instead.

Do unused package sessions expire?

No. Package sessions do not expire and a package can be paused indefinitely. A package can also be refunded while sessions remain unused, with the sessions already taken recharged at the standard single-session rate.

Can I upgrade from a smaller package later?

Ask before buying rather than assuming. Packages are sold as fixed bundles at checkout, so combining or upgrading them is handled case by case.

Are text chat plans discounted the same way?

No. Text plans are sold by period rather than by session, so there is no single-session price to discount against. The 30-day plan is the lowest cost per day at about Rs. 83.

Is a couple package usable for family sessions?

Yes. Family sessions run at the same 90-minute length and the same rate as couple sessions, so the couple packages apply.
