Life coaching
Life coaching, online and in person
Coaching is for when you know something needs to change, or you have a goal in mind, and you would like support to get there.
We look at where you are now, where you’d like to be and what is getting in the way. Then we plan practical steps that fit your life and your values.
Who coaching can help
Coaching suits people who feel ready for a change, even if they are not sure yet what it is. You might be:
- Deciding on a career move or new direction
- Returning to work or starting a new role
- Wanting to feel more confident in your decisions
- Looking for a better balance between work, family and yourself
- Going through a transition, such as a move or becoming a parent
What we can work on together
- Getting clear on what matters most to you
- Setting realistic, meaningful goals
- Working through procrastination and self-doubt
- Making a practical plan and staying on track
Coaching or counselling?
Counselling spends more time with difficult feelings and the past. Coaching looks more at the present and the future. Many people need a bit of both, and I can help you work out what fits.
Sessions and fees
Sessions are one-to-one, online or in person in Palakkad, in English, Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi or Telugu. Fees are ₹3,000 per session. Sessions are with me, Varada, a counselling psychologist and member of the British Psychological Society. Read more about me.
