Postpartum Depression Counselling in Kolkata
Kolkata, the cultural capital of the East, has a growing community of mothers seeking maternal mental health support.
RCI-licensed female counsellors support new mothers across Kolkata with postpartum depression, anxiety, birth trauma, and intrusive thoughts — over private 45-minute online video sessions, in your preferred language. 100% confidential.
What is postpartum depression?
Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common, treatable mood condition that can affect mothers in the weeks and months after delivery. It is more than "baby blues" — the feelings are deeper, last longer than two weeks, and do not lift on their own. It is not a weakness and it is not your fault. With the right support, most mothers recover well.
Signs and symptoms to watch for
- Persistent sadness or low mood most of the day
- Loss of interest or pleasure, even in your baby
- Overwhelming tiredness beyond normal new-parent fatigue
- Intrusive or frightening thoughts
- Feeling worthless, guilty, or like a bad mother
- Trouble bonding with your baby
- Changes in sleep or appetite
If you are in crisis
If you have thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, please seek help right now. Call 112 (India's emergency number) or go to your nearest hospital. You can also call iCall's free counselling helpline at 9152987821 (Monday–Saturday, 10am–8pm).

Frequently asked questions — Kolkata

A 45-minute online video session with an RCI-licensed female counsellor is ₹1,499. No subscription and no hidden fees.
Do I need to visit a clinic in Kolkata?
No. All sessions are online video calls, so you can speak to a counsellor from your home anywhere in Kolkata — including Salt Lake, New Town, Park Street, Ballygunge — without travelling with a newborn.
Are your counsellors qualified?
Yes. Every counsellor is RCI-licensed (Rehabilitation Council of India) and specialises in maternal mental health, including postpartum depression, anxiety, birth trauma, and intrusive thoughts.
