Nurture Counseling Brings Multilingual Mental Wellness Access to Individuals, Workplaces, and Campuses Across India

Bangalore, Karnataka, India. At a time when mental health challenges are rising across India, Nurture Counseling is redefining how emotional well-being is accessed and experienced. Founded by Priyesh Kumar and Anushka Joshi, the platform is built on a simple yet powerful idea: mental wellness should be an everyday conversation—not a crisis response.

With services available in 11 Indian languages and delivered by 13+ licensed psychologists, Nurture Counseling is addressing critical gaps in accessibility, affordability, and cultural relevance in India’s mental healthcare ecosystem.

Addressing India’s Silent Mental Health Crisis

India faces a significant but often unspoken mental health burden:

• Nearly 197 million Indians live with mental health conditions, yet fewer than 10% seek professional help 
• 42% of employees cite burnout as a key reason for leaving jobs 
• India has just 0.07 psychiatrists per 100,000 people, far below global recommendations 
• Over 520 million Indians do not speak English, while most therapy services remain English-first 
• 1 in 4 college students experiences a diagnosable mental health condition 

These challenges highlight a structural gap—one that Nurture Counseling aims to bridge through language-inclusive, human-centered care.

A Mission to Normalize Mental Wellness

Nurture Counseling is driven by a mission to normalize mental wellness in India, making psychological support a natural, accessible part of everyday life. We envision a future where every individual, regardless of language, income, or location, has access to safe, ethical, and professional care.

“Healing begins when a person feels safe enough to be heard. We built Nurture to be that safe space—in every language, for every person.”
— Anushka Joshi, Co-founder
