Is the KYP call a free counselling session?
No. The KYP — Know Your Psychologist call is a short 15-minute introductory call to see whether her approach fits your needs. It is not a free counselling session; please read the description before booking.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes. All 1:1 sessions, courses and consultations are available online over video and booked on this site, so you can work with Kanan from anywhere in India or abroad. In-person corporate workshops can be arranged on request.
How accurate is body language analysis?
Body language reveals patterns, not certainties. Kanan's reading is grounded in FACS (the Facial Action Coding System) and micro-expressions research, and every cue is interpreted in context and against a person's own baseline rather than as absolute 'lie detection'. It is a powerful tool for awareness and communication — used to guide, not to label.
What's the difference between coaching and therapy?
Coaching is forward-looking and skills-based — building presence, confidence and communication. Therapy (Kanan is a practising psychotherapist) is deeper and healing-focused, addressing emotional patterns and trauma. Many clients begin with coaching and move into therapy, or the reverse; the KYP — Know Your Psychologist call helps you choose the right track.
Do you offer corporate training and workshops?
Yes. Kanan runs corporate training and workshops on body language, communication and emotional intelligence for teams, leaders and recruiters — she has trained corporates as well as government, aviation and defence sectors. Use the contact page to design a session for your organisation.
I'm functioning fine — do I really need therapy?
You don't have to be in crisis to deserve support. Many people Kanan works with look completely 'fine' on the outside while feeling exhausted, stuck or disconnected inside. Therapy isn't only for breakdowns — it's for anyone who wants to understand themselves and live with less weight.
How many sessions will I need?
There's no fixed number. Some people come for a few sessions to work through something specific; others stay longer for deeper, ongoing work. After your first session you'll talk openly about what pace and depth feels right — you're never locked in.
Will Kanan tell me what to do, or just listen?
Both, thoughtfully. She won't hand you generic advice, but she also won't leave you talking into a void. She reflects patterns back to you, offers perspective and practical tools, and helps you find your own answers — at your pace.
Do you prescribe medication, or replace a psychiatrist?
No. Kanan is a psychotherapist, not a psychiatrist — she does not prescribe medication. If medication or a psychiatric assessment would help, she'll say so and help you find the right support. Therapy can work alongside medical care, not instead of it.
Can body language really be learned, or is it a natural talent?
It's a skill, not a gift you're born with. Reading microexpressions and carrying yourself with presence are learnable, repeatable skills grounded in FACS and nonverbal-communication research. With structured practice, most people improve quickly — that's exactly what the courses and 1:1 decoding sessions are built for.
Which should I choose — a course or a 1:1 session?
Courses are self-paced and great for building body-language and communication skills on your own schedule. 1:1 sessions are personalised — for decoding a specific situation, interview or relationship, or for therapy and emotional work. If you're unsure, the KYP — Know Your Psychologist call helps you pick the right starting point.
