- About
At LM Wellbeing Psychological Services, we are committed to supporting individuals in improving their emotional wellbeing and overall quality of life. Founded by Lalitha Manivel, a qualified psychologist with an MBA and M.Sc. in Psychology, our approach is grounded in empathy, professionalism, and a deep understanding of human behaviour. We understand that life can be challenging. Many people carry stress, relationship concerns, and personal struggles without having a safe space to express themselves. Everyone deserves to be heard with compassion and without judgment. Our counselling services provide a confidential and supportive environment where clients can openly explore their thoughts and emotions, and work towards clarity, balance, and confidence.
Beyond her professional practice, Lalitha is deeply committed to giving back to the community. She believes that every young person deserves access to emotional support, regardless of their financial circumstances. Where appropriate and subject to availability, she voluntarily provides counselling and psychological support to children, adolescents, and young adults, particularly those experiencing emotional or mental health challenges, without charging a consultation fee. This reflects her genuine passion for supporting the wellbeing of the next generation and making mental health care more accessible to those in need.
At LM Wellbeing Psychological Services, we are here to walk alongside you in your journey, helping you build resilience, develop self-awareness, and create a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Common Questions
Questions People Often Ask Before Starting Online Therapy
Most people have the same questions before their first session. Here are straightforward and honest answers.
Is everything I share in sessions kept confidential?
Can I access counselling from outside India as an NRI?
Yes. LM Wellbeing serves Tamil NRI clients across UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, South Korea, Japan, and other countries. Sessions are online via Google Meet, and scheduling is adjusted for your timezone. The session fee for international clients is shared via email after your initial enquiry, as it varies by location.
What happens in the first session?
The first session is an assessment and rapport-building session. Lalitha will listen to what brings you in, understand your concerns, and begin to map out what you are hoping to change or achieve. There is no pressure to share everything immediately, the pace is always guided by your comfort. By the end of the session, you will have a clearer picture of the therapeutic direction and what the coming sessions might focus on.
