Private, and on your terms
Talk about the drinking
Whether it is you who drinks or someone in your family, counselling is a private place to look at what the drinking is doing and what to do next.
Drinking counselling, online or in Neyveli
The session is the same one either way. Choose whichever is easier.
In person
The practice is in Neyveli Township. You can come on your own, or a family member can come instead of, or before, the person who drinks.

Counselling is not medical detox. If someone drinks heavily every day, stopping suddenly can be dangerous — see a doctor before cutting down.

Read the full profileQuestions people ask
Do I have to stop before I come?
No. You can come while you are still drinking. Whether to cut down or stop is something you decide, with a doctor involved if you drink heavily.
He drinks and will not come. Can I come alone?
Yes. Family members often come on their own first. Sessions can help you understand what is happening and decide what you will and will not accept.
Is this a de-addiction centre?
No. Feathers is a counselling practice, not a residential or medical centre, and it does not provide detox or medication. If medical help is needed, you will be told so and pointed to a doctor.
Will anyone find out?
What is said in a session stays there. The few limits, such as a risk to someone’s safety, are set out on the disclaimer page.
Can the session be in Tamil?
Yes. Sessions run in Tamil or English, whichever you would rather think in.

One message is enough
You do not have to explain everything to book. Say it is about drinking, and whether it is you or someone in your family.
Counselling is not emergency care. In an emergency call 112. The national helpline for alcohol and drugs is 14446, and mental health support is on Tele-MANAS — 14416, both free.
