Do you offer online sessions?
Yes. All services are available online over secure video for clients anywhere in India and abroad. In-person sessions are available in Goa.
How long does therapy take to see results?
It varies with individual needs, but many clients begin noticing positive shifts after just a few sessions.
Do I have to talk about my trauma right away?
No. You are in control of your journey. Therapy moves at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you.
Hypnotherapy
What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis, a natural, focused and deeply relaxed state, to work with the subconscious mind and support change in thoughts, feelings and habits.
Will I lose control or reveal secrets under hypnosis?
No. You stay aware and in control throughout, and cannot be made to say or do anything you don’t want to.
What is the difference between hypnosis, hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis?
Hypnosis is the relaxed, focused state. Hypnotherapy is the therapeutic use of that state by a trained therapist. Self-hypnosis is a technique you learn to enter that state yourself for relaxation and reinforcement between sessions.
Can hypnotherapy help with trauma, anxiety or habits?
Used within a broader therapeutic plan, hypnotherapy can help reduce anxiety, support trauma processing, and strengthen motivation to change habits such as smoking.
Confidentiality & safety
Is everything I share kept confidential?
Absolutely. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy, so you can express yourself openly and securely. The only exception is a serious risk to your safety or someone else’s.
Are online sessions recorded?
No. Sessions are not recorded.
What is the difference between a psychotherapist and a psychiatrist?
A psychotherapist helps through talking and therapeutic techniques such as hypnotherapy. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose mental illness and prescribe medication. Many people benefit from both.
When should I see a psychiatrist or call a helpline instead?
If you are thinking of harming yourself, experiencing severe symptoms, or need medication, please contact a psychiatrist or doctor. In a crisis in India call Tele-MANAS on 14416 (free, 24×7) or 112.
For organisations
Do you run corporate workshops?
Yes. Latika runs emotional intelligence, resilience, stress management and leadership workshops on-site in Goa, at offsites, and online.
How long is a corporate emotional intelligence workshop?
From a 90-minute session to half-day, full-day or multi-session programmes, tailored to your team.
