Amaha Review
Amaha is only a fit in the right situation. Sessions are on the lower side at ₹800 and psychiatry is available alongside therapy, but therapists average only 1 year in practice and an explicit confidentiality contract is not mentioned.
Amaha is a mental-health platform offering online and in-person therapy, psychiatry, assessments, couples counselling, and specialised child and adolescent care. It operates across major Indian cities and matches clients with qualified practitioners across a range of languages and concerns.
