These Helplines Are Not a Substitute for Ongoing Care
Helplines provide crucial immediate support — but they can’t offer the sustained, personalised healing that ongoing therapy provides. If you’re struggling with a persistent concern, talking to a professional is the most impactful step you can take.
Holistic Living offers a free first session — online worldwide, in-person across Mumbai. You’ll be matched with a certified expert within 24 hours.
⚠️ Disclaimer: Helpline numbers are listed in good faith based on publicly available information. We recommend verifying availability and hours with the respective organisations. Holistic Living is not affiliated with these helplines.
