FAQs

What is coaching and how is it different from therapy?

Coaching is a forward-focused, collaborative process that supports you in gaining clarity, emotional awareness, and aligned action.

It is not therapy or clinical treatment. As an ICF-aligned coach, I work within ethical boundaries and focus on personal growth and emotional understanding.

What are your coaching fees?

• Standard coaching session: ₹2,000 per session

Mentoring or combined coaching–mentoring programs are structured differently and shared upon request.

Who is coaching suitable for?

Coaching is suitable for individuals who:

• Are seeking emotional clarity, balance, and inner stability

• Are willing to understand themselves more deeply

• Are open to reflection and conscious growth

It is especially supportive for those who wish to develop emotional strength and a more grounded approach to life 🌱

If at any stage additional or clinical support appears beneficial, appropriate guidance may be suggested in alignment with ethical standards.

Do you offer package options?

Yes

• 4 sessions = ₹8,000

• Discounted package: ₹7,500 (final amount)

This structure supports consistency and deeper transformation.

Missed sessions or long gaps without prior communication are considered utilized.

How frequently are sessions scheduled?

Sessions are ideally scheduled with a gap of 8 to 12 days (maximum) to maintain emotional rhythm and continuity.

What happens in case of missed sessions or no prior notice?

If sessions are missed or delayed without informing:

This ensures respect for time, energy, and commitment.
