Yes — if you're in Delhi and looking for a good psychologist, Ruchi Makkar can help. She's a Counselling Psychologist (MA Psychology) with over 6 years' experience. She sees most Delhi clients online, over secure video, anywhere across Delhi NCR. If you'd prefer in-person, her clinic is at DLF Phase 4, Gurgaon — about 20–30 minutes from South Delhi via the Delhi–Gurgaon Expressway. She works in Hindi and English. Individual sessions are ₹2,000 for 50 minutes; couples and family sessions are ₹3,500.
Ruchi Makkar is a postgraduate-trained Counselling Psychologist with years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents. Her practice, NurtureMind, runs online for clients across Delhi and the NCR, with an in-person clinic at DLF Phase 4, near Galleria Market, Gurugram.
Most Delhi clients see her online — it's convenient, private, and saves the cross-city commute. Prefer to meet face to face? From Greater Kailash, Hauz Khas, Saket, or Vasant Kunj, the drive to DLF Phase 4 is roughly 20–30 minutes via the expressway. Closer than you'd think.
Ruchi works in both English and Hindi, so you can express yourself in whichever language feels most natural — or switch between them mid-session. Her approach is warm, non-judgmental, and grounded in evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and systemic family therapy.
She works across a wide range of concerns — anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, work stress, burnout, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and questions of identity and purpose.

A common question in Delhi. Here's the short version.
A psychologist provides talk therapy. That's the work of understanding what's going on for you and changing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviour — through approaches like CBT, counselling, and family therapy. Ruchi is a Counselling Psychologist, so this is what she does.
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MBBS, MD) who can prescribe medication. For most everyday concerns — anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship struggles — talk therapy with a psychologist is the right first step.
If medication ever turns out to be useful, Ruchi can refer you to a trusted psychiatrist, and the two often work hand in hand. Still unsure? Message her and describe what's going on — she'll point you the right way, even if that's to someone else.
This matters in India, where access is stretched thin. The WHO notes India has only about 0.75 psychiatrists per 100,000 people, and the NIMHANS National Mental Health Survey (2015–16) found roughly 10.6% of Indian adults live with a mental disorder, with a treatment gap of 70–92%. Online therapy helps close that gap — you don't have to be near a clinic to get good support.
Whether you connect online or come in person, Ruchi works with clients from across Delhi — especially South Delhi.
Live in another part of Delhi, or anywhere in India? Ruchi's online therapy sessions reach you wherever you are — and they're available for NRIs worldwide too.
Most Delhi clients see Ruchi online, and for good reason — no cross-city traffic, total privacy, and you can take the session from your own home or office anywhere in the city.
Online therapy is equally effective as in-person for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, work stress, and most other concerns. Research backs this up consistently.
You don't need to install any software — just a private space and a stable connection. Once you book via WhatsApp, Ruchi shares a secure session link directly.
