FAQ
Questions people often ask.
Everything you might want to know before your first conversation with PsyLex.
Still have a question?
Ask PsyLex →What is psycho-legal consultation?
It looks at a situation from both sides at once: the emotional and psychological side, and the legal side. Family disputes, workplace conflict, divorce, custody or a criminal case often affect both, and Dr. Sonia is trained in clinical psychology and in law.
Do I need to know if my problem is psychological or legal before booking?
No. Choose the closest service, or “A bit of both”, and explain your situation briefly. The first conversation is about understanding what you need and where to start.
Is everything I share confidential?
Yes. What you share in sessions and through this website is kept confidential and is used only to help you, except where disclosure is required by law.
Can I consult online?
Yes. Sessions are available in person at the Durgapura office in Jaipur, by video call, or by phone.
How do I book, and how is my appointment confirmed?
Choose a service and pick a free time on the Book a Consultation page. Your appointment is confirmed straight away by email, with a reminder the day before. You can also call +91 94618 23463.
Which languages are sessions in?
Sessions are available in English and Hindi.
Are tarot reading and spiritual healing a replacement for therapy?
No. They are complementary practices, offered alongside clinical care for those who want them. They are never a replacement for psychological, medical or legal treatment.
Can Dr. Sonia speak at our event or guide our research?
Yes. She is invited as a speaker, resource person and examiner, and guides Ph.D. and LL.M. scholars. Use the contact form to send your invitation or enquiry.
Is PsyLex an emergency service?
No. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 112 or go to the nearest hospital.
