FAQ
These get asked quietly at the counselling table, usually in Hindi, often by someone who is embarrassed to be asking at all. They are all fair questions and the first one is the most important on this page.
Is this therapy or counselling, and what if I am dealing with depression or anxiety?▾
No, and this matters, so we will say it plainly. This is a skills and habits coaching program. It is not counselling, it is not therapy, and it is not medical care, and nobody here is qualified to treat a mental-health condition. If you are living with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, an eating disorder, thoughts of harming yourself, or any other condition that needs clinical care, please see a qualified mental-health professional — a psychiatrist, a clinical psychologist or a licensed counsellor. That is a normal thing to do and there is nothing shameful in it, the same way you would see a doctor for a fever. If you are in crisis right now, contact the national Tele-MANAS helpline on 14416, which is free and runs 24 hours. Coaching can sit alongside that care, and many people do both, but it is never a replacement for it. If the coach feels during your sessions that what you are dealing with needs clinical help, they will tell you and stop, instead of taking your fee.
What actually happens in the sessions, and what will I be doing between them?▾
Each session has three parts — a short review of the week, one new practice taught and tried in the room, and a written task to carry into the next seven days. Nothing here is a lecture you sit through. You will fill a habit tracker daily, write a short journal entry most days, do a thought record when a spiral starts, and follow the 30-day plan built with the coach. The homework is deliberately small, because a ten-minute task done for thirty days changes more than a two-hour task done twice.
How long is the program, and how much time does it need every week?▾
There are three tracks. The 6-week foundation covers assessment, habits, self-talk and goal setting. The 3-month track covers all 15 modules including procrastination, focus, comparison and exam nerves. The 6-month track adds a longer practice period with monthly reviews, because habits break in month two and that is exactly when most people quit alone. Sessions run once or twice a week, and the daily practice outside class is 10 to 20 minutes. If you cannot give ten minutes a day, this program will not do anything for you and it is fairer to say so now.
What is the fee for mindset coaching in Jaipur and are there hidden charges?▾
The 6-week mindset foundation is ₹9,000, the 3-month positive mindset coaching track is ₹18,000, and the 6-month mindset and career confidence track is ₹24,000. The fee covers the sessions, the workbook, the habit tracker, the 30-day plan and the certificate. No-cost EMI is available on fees above ₹15,000. There is no separate exam fee, material charge or certificate charge, and the fee is told to you before counselling, not after.
I have read books, watched videos and tried affirmations. Why would this be different?▾
Books give you ideas and videos give you a good hour. Neither one can watch you actually think, catch the moment your pattern starts, and tell you what to do right there. That is the only real difference, and it is a big one. The second difference is the tracker — information you read is forgotten in a week, while a habit you wrote down for thirty days is still there. If you have genuinely kept a written practice for a month on your own and it did nothing, tell the coach that in the demo. There are cases where a program is not the right answer.
I am not depressed or in crisis. I am just stuck. Is this still for me?▾
Yes, and that describes most people who join. Being stuck without a clear reason — putting things off, starting well and dropping out by week three, comparing yourself to everyone on your phone, avoiding the interview you should be attending — is a habits and attention problem, and habits and attention are trainable. You do not have to be struggling badly to be allowed to work on this.
How soon will I notice anything change?▾
Small things first. People usually report an easier start to the day and fewer late-night spirals in the first two or three weeks, mostly because the tracker makes the pattern visible for the first time. The bigger shift — studying on the days you do not feel like it, attending the interview you would have skipped, finishing what you started — tends to show up around week six to eight, and only for people who kept the daily practice. We will not tell you it happens in one session, because that is not honest and it sets you up to quit when it does not.
Is what I say in a session kept private?▾
Yes. What you discuss in a session stays in that room. There is no recording, nothing is shared with your family or your employer, and nothing is discussed with other students. The only exception is the one every responsible coach keeps — if there is a serious risk to your safety, the coach will insist on involving a qualified professional and, where you are a minor, your parents.
I have a job and a family. Where will I find the time?▾
The daily work is 10 to 20 minutes and most of it attaches to something you already do — the tracker before bed, the journal with your morning tea, the reframe practice on the commute. Sessions run in the evening and on weekends for working people. The honest caveat is that this only works if that small window is protected. Time and energy management is a full module for exactly this reason.
What happens after the program ends, and does it help with my career?▾
You leave with the tracker, the 30-day plan, your journalling system and your goal map, and the coach stays reachable for follow-up questions when an old pattern returns. On career, be clear about what is being claimed. This program does not get anyone a job and does not promise a salary. What consistency changes is behaviour — showing up to study, applying instead of postponing, attending the interview, finishing the work you started. Attach that to an actual employable skill from the non-technical courses in Jaipur or the job-oriented course list and the combination is what moves a career. Mindset on its own is half of it.
