Online child counselling, in Malayalam and English
Your child used to chat about school. Now they go quiet, or explode over small things. Mornings have become a battle, bedtime takes forever, and you're not sure if this is a phase or something more.
You don't have to work it out alone. Child counselling gives your child a safe space to share what's going on, and gives you a clear, practical plan for home.

How child counselling at Ila helps
Children often can't explain what they feel. Depending on your child's age, your psychologist uses play, drawing, stories and simple conversation to understand what's underneath the behaviour. Then we work with you on small, practical changes at home.

Can young children really do counselling online?
For many children it works well, especially with a parent nearby to help with the screen. If your child would do better with in-person support, we'll tell you honestly and help you find it.
Will you tell me what my child says?
We share the main themes and what you can do to help. Some details stay private so your child can trust their psychologist. If there is any risk to their safety, we always tell you.
How many sessions will my child need?
It depends on the child. Many families meet weekly for a few weeks, then less often. We review progress with you along the way.
