Treatment & Support
The Melbourne Connection
Taanya's Diploma in Holistic Healing and Counselling is from the Holistic Living Training Institute in Melbourne and is Australian accredited. Her Anger and Stress Management certification is from the Australian Institute of Management. She is a certified member of AHHA, the Australian Holistic Healers Association.
Alongside those she holds an MA in Counselling Psychology, certification as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, and is a Reiki Master in the Usui lineage with over twenty-five years of practice.
She is not registered with AHPRA and does not practise as an Australian psychologist. Psychologist is a protected title in Australia. If you need a registered psychologist or a Medicare rebate, that has to be an AHPRA-registered practitioner in Australia.
Who Gets in Touch from Melbourne
Melbourne has one of the largest Indian communities in Australia, and a good share of clients here are from it — people in the south-eastern suburbs, around Wyndham and Tarneit, in Clayton and Glen Waverley, and students and recent graduates closer to the centre.
The recurring material is familiar: obligation to parents in India, guilt about the distance, marriage pressure that sharpens with each visit home, and second-generation clients caught between two sets of expectations that were never going to reconcile neatly.
The rest is the ordinary range — anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship difficulty, work stress, sleep — or specific requests for hypnotherapy, Reiki and energy work.
What Is Available Online
Counselling, life coaching, clinical hypnotherapy, distance Reiki and energy healing all work over video. Hypnotherapy in particular often works better at home than in a clinic room, because relaxing is easier somewhere familiar.
What online requires from you is a private space where you will not be overheard and a connection that holds. Where privacy at home is the obstacle — shared houses are common — say so, because it is a frequent problem with workable solutions.
Timing from Melbourne
Melbourne runs four and a half hours ahead of India during standard time and five and a half during daylight saving. A 5pm or 6pm session in Delhi lands at 9.30pm or 10.30pm in Melbourne, which is where most sessions sit.
Weekend mornings in Melbourne are also workable, landing in the Indian morning. What is generally avoided is the Melbourne morning on a weekday, which falls in the small hours in Delhi.
Daylight saving shifts the offset twice a year and Victorian and Indian changeovers are not aligned, so slots are confirmed against your local clock rather than a fixed table.

Questions & Answers
Everything you need to know before booking your first session.
Are you based in Melbourne?+
No. The practice is in New Delhi and Melbourne clients are seen online. The Melbourne connection is training and thirteen years of living there, not a current clinic.
Do you ever see people in person in Melbourne?+
Taanya travels to Australia periodically for training and workshops. If you would prefer to meet in person, ask about upcoming dates — but online is the reliable option for continuing work.
Can I use Medicare or my private health fund?+
No. Medicare rebates require a referral to an AHPRA-registered practitioner in Australia. Some private funds cover counselling or hypnotherapy from recognised providers; check with your fund directly.
What happens with daylight saving?+
Victoria and India change at different times, so the gap moves between four and a half and five and a half hours. Session times are set against your local clock and adjusted when the offset shifts.
Can sessions be in Hindi?+
Yes. English or Hindi, and moving between them mid-session is normal for bilingual clients.
What if I need urgent help?+
This is not a crisis service. In an emergency call 000. Lifeline is on 13 11 14 twenty-four hours a day, and Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636.
