About Akam

Support that starts with listening.

Akam offers online counselling in Malayalam and English, with a team of psychologists supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.

Our approach

You bring your own story. There is room to start wherever you are.

At Akam, our psychologists offer support for emotional concerns, relationships, parenting and the challenges that can come with different stages of life. The team brings experience across individual, couple, child and family work, with sessions in Malayalam and English.

We want reaching out to feel more approachable. You can learn about each psychologist, compare their areas of focus and see session fees and durations before booking. Whether you know the support you’re looking for or need help choosing, there is a clear next step.

What matters here

Care begins before the first appointment.

Knowing who you will speak to, what a session costs and how to begin can make reaching out feel more manageable.

Room for your story

Your experiences do not need to fit a neat explanation. Explore support for yourself, your relationships or your family at your own pace.

A language you choose

All six psychologists offer Malayalam and English, so you can choose the language you feel comfortable speaking.

Clarity before commitment

Read the team profiles and compare session categories, fees and durations before making an appointment. Ask Akam for help if you are unsure.
