Frequently asked questions
The practical things people ask before a first session. If yours is not here, ask on WhatsApp — Ila reads those herself.
- How much does a consultation cost?
- WhatsApp chat consultation: ₹750 for 90 minutes. Video consultation: ₹900 for 90 minutes. Sessions are arranged over WhatsApp. Couple sessions and workshops are quoted on request.
- How do I book a session with Ila?
- Send a message on WhatsApp saying briefly what you would like help with, and Ila will find a time that works for you. There is no booking form and no account to create — the conversation starts with a real person, and she arranges the session herself.
- Are sessions online or in person?
- Most one-to-one consultations are online, so you can join from anywhere in India or abroad. In-person sessions at Ila's home office in Bangalore are occasionally available by arrangement — ₹1,500 for 90 minutes; mention it when you message. Ila also travels across Indian cities for group sessions in schools, colleges, corporate organisations, NGOs and residential communities.
- What languages are sessions available in?
- Ila works in English, Tamil, Hindi and Telugu, and understands Kannada and Gujarati. Talking about a marriage or a difficult period is hard enough without translating it first, so sessions run in whichever of those languages feels most natural to you.
- Do you work with individuals, or only couples?
- Both. Sessions can be one-to-one or as a couple, and many people start alone before deciding whether to bring their partner in. Which one fits is something Ila works out with you before the first session.
- What can we work on in a consultation?
- Pre-marriage and post-marriage counselling, intimacy in a couple, divorce healing, money and marriage, parenting, postpartum maternal wellbeing, grief, boundary setting, inner-child healing, and stress, anxiety and anger. If you are not sure where your situation fits, that is a normal place to begin.
Still deciding?
That is normal, and it is fine. Send a message and Ila will help you work out what kind of session fits — or whether one is needed at all.
