Conditions we treat
Online Grief and Bereavement Counselling
Grief is not an illness, and it does not follow a timetable. Support helps when the loss feels unbearable, unspoken, or when life has stopped moving with it.
What grief & bereavement means
Grief is the natural response to losing someone or something significant. For most people its intensity softens over months even though the loss remains. When intense yearning, disbelief or withdrawal persist and daily functioning does not recover, clinicians describe it as prolonged or complicated grief, which responds to structured support.
Common signs and symptoms
- Waves of intense sorrow, yearning or numbness
- Difficulty accepting that the loss has happened
- Withdrawal from people, work or activities once valued
- Sleep disruption, appetite change or exhaustion
- Guilt, anger or preoccupation with what might have been done differently
- Difficulty imagining a future that includes the loss
When professional support may help
- Daily functioning has not recovered many months after the loss
- You feel unable to speak about the loss with anyone around you
- Grief is accompanied by persistent low mood or hopelessness
- You are using alcohol or other substances to get through
How Veera's Global can help
Grief counselling at your own pace, with psychiatric review if low mood, sleep or anxiety need separate attention.
Fees, session length and what happens next
- Fees
- ₹2,500 / US$25 for a consultation with our current specialists. The fee for each clinician is shown on their profile and again at checkout, converted to your local currency where a rate is available. There is no separate platform charge.
- Session length
- Session length is set by each clinician and shown on their profile and on the slot you pick, so you know the exact duration before you pay.
- Languages
- English, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Bengali. Languages vary by clinician and are listed on each profile — filter on the specialists page before booking.
- How the session happens
- Sessions are held in a Google Meet room created for that appointment only. Nothing is recorded unless you give explicit consent first.
- Follow-up
- Follow-up is booked the same way as the first appointment, with the same clinician where you prefer. Your notes, any prescription and previous sessions stay on one record, so you do not repeat your history each time.
Our psychiatrists are registered medical practitioners in India and work within India's Telemedicine Practice Guidelines. An e-prescription can be issued after assessment where those guidelines permit it for your presentation; some medicines must be prescribed in person.
Talking therapy with our psychologists is available wherever you can join a secure video call. Psychiatry consultations outside India are provided as assessment, review and second-opinion work; prescriptions for a country other than India generally have to be issued or endorsed by a clinician registered there, and your psychiatrist will tell you what applies in your case before you book a follow-up.
What online care cannot do
- Online care is not an emergency service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency number or a crisis helpline.
- Medically supervised detoxification, acute psychosis and situations needing physical examination or admission require in-person services.
- Prescribing depends on the clinician's registration and the rules of the country you are in; your clinician confirms what is possible at assessment.
Frequently asked questions
Is it too soon, or too late, to seek grief counselling?
Neither. Some people want support in the first weeks, others years later when a loss resurfaces. What matters is that talking with a clinician would help you now.
Can we attend as a family?
Yes. Families grieve differently and at different speeds, and joint sessions can be arranged where that would help. Mention it when you book so the right clinician is matched.
