Hey there. So, you’re thinking about talking to someone. That’s a huge, courageous first step, and we’re so glad you’re here.
But then comes the confusing part, right? You see terms like “counsellor,” “psychologist,” “therapist”… and it can feel a bit overwhelming. Who do you choose? What’s the difference? 🤔
Let’s make it super simple. Think of finding the right counsellor like picking a guide for a journey. Depending on the terrain you’re facing, you need a guide with the right map and the right tools. At OREYORU, we have a team of caring experts, each with a unique set of skills to support you.
Let’s meet your potential guides.

- When they’re your perfect guide:
- When you’re dealing with daily stress from work or college 😫.

Think of them as your compassionate first point of contact—a safe space to simply be heard.

Our Promise: Complete and Ethical Care 🤝
Your well-being is everything to us. That’s why our system is designed to make sure you always get the best care, even if that means connecting you with different types of support.
Sometimes, our minds need medical support, just like our bodies do.
If our Clinical or Senior Psychologists believe that medication could be a helpful part of your journey, they will have a gentle, open conversation with you about it.
With your full and informed consent, we can arrange a seamless and confidential referral to a specialist Psychiatrist at our OREYORU Wellness centers in Kochi and Thrissur (available online or in-person).
