‘Life Coaching’:A present based & Future focused Practice.Simple & practical way of looking at your life and encouraging yourself to be your authentic self.
It Connects your present & future with realistic ambitions, fulfilled dreams & expected achievements.

It is a profession that is profoundly different from counseling, consulting or therapy.

‘Life Coaching’ potentially covers virtually every aspect of personal development that an individual might aspire to – for career direction and development, leadership, business start-up and entrepreneurship, life skills, relationships, health, happiness, career-life integration etc.

‘Life Coaching’ is positive, inspiring, exciting and action driven.

‘Life Coaching’, in addition to once commonly viewed as a tool to help people to correct ‘problems’, is now believed to be the most realistic practice which helps to sharpen the skills of individuals at all fronts of life.

The fundamental differences between ‘Life Coaching’ & Psychological Counseling/ Therapy are:
Psychological Counseling ; Is an Art & Science, more or less concerned with solving issues, concerns or problems & it is short term & inter-personal, resolving developmental, situational or psychological problems.

This practice is direct solution based.

‘Life Coaching’ : Is to COACH & EDUCATE a person in such a manner, so that he can deepen his learning, improve performances, focus on self-directed learning & well-being, assess own progress & thus enhance quality of life.

Psychotherapy & Counseling are more or less about – ‘PAST’.
Whereas ‘Life Coaching’ is ‘PRESENT’ based & ‘FUTURE’ focused.

‘Life Coaching’  varies depending on the personalities of both, the ‘Life Coach’ and the client, and type of particular problem raised by clients. There is no guarantee of cure in this unique practice. It varies with what you share, experience & changes you allow or create in your life. Our first- complimentary session is going to involve an evaluation of client’s expectations & needs.

By the end of the evaluation, we would be able to generate a first impression of what & how our work together is going to be and what can be the management plan to follow, if client is comfortable & wants to continue further.

This whole process of ‘Life Coaching’ needs & involves a large commitment of time, efforts & energy. It is not like taking pain killer & pain is gone. However, in order for the ‘Life Coaching’ to be most beneficial & successful, great commitment, confidence & faith in each other are required.

As you have a bundle of expectations from your ‘Life Coach’, he too can have some expectations regarding your willingness to have, accept & create changes in & around you, taking deeper interests in the ways we proceed in sessions and he would definitely like to see you fully in to it with discipline.

To keep management records is under the law and standard of my profession. However, I may provide a management summary to client, on request.

In general, the privacy of all communications between a client and a ‘Life Coach’  is protected by law, and information can only be released with client’s written permission. But there are a few exceptions. In most legal proceedings, a client has the right to prevent Life Coach from providing any information about his / her treatment.

There are some situations in which I am legally obligated to take action to protect others from harm, even if I have to reveal some information about a client’s treatment. In few other situations, I may need to inform respective authorities like police, or hospital.

You should be aware that, although I anticipate otherwise, despite our all efforts, you may not improve as quickly as you might like, you may not reach to an expected level of comfort in particular duration, you may start to improve only after the end of ‘Life Coaching’ or you may not improve at all, depending upon several factors.

You should also be aware that ‘Life Coaching’ is intended to induce changes in your thoughts, feelings & attitude towards yourself and others in life, and that when these changes occur, may disrupt or change your existing manner of living and your relationships with others.

‘Life Coaching’ can also provoke feelings of affection or anger for the Life Coach. In short, we need to understand that management may be emotionally painful, at times.

In a private practice such as this, treatment is entirely voluntary, and you have the right to terminate treatment at any time with prior information to your ‘Life Coach’.

Further, you have every right to know about qualifications, experiences & capabilities of your Life Coach.

My introductory evaluation / Complimentary session require 10-15 minutes. During this time, it can be decided if Dr. Mehta is the suitable person for you to provide the services you need in order to meet your expectations.

As far as time duration of session is concerned, certain time slot has to be decided to value time. But at the same time I don't mind taking long sessions until we are truly finished discussing what is important to my client.

Duration of my usual sessions range from 60 to 70 minute session per week at a time, although some sessions may be longer & / or more frequent. Once an appointment is scheduled, a client is expected to pay for it in advance or before the session commences.

In case of cancellation of next meeting or whole of the session, client needs to inform at least 24 hours prior to meeting and get his / her advance money back.

"Life Coaching" is not one time medicine. Clients are requested to take up programs for minimum of 3 sessions as a package deal to achieve the best of the results & reduce the cost as well.

Life Coaching can be taken up as 3 to 6 monthly or yearly maintenance basis packages also.

We all know that most of our problems in life are because of our Self limiting beliefs, Unrealistic attitude, expectations & / or approach towards ourselves & others.

You can expect to have your thoughts, feelings & behaviors understood and clarified, to receive assistance identifying problems, and to gain help developing plans to deal with any problem & further to achieve goals in your personal & professional life.

You should not expect miracle in ‘Life Coaching’. What I can say that ‘Life Coaching’ is not about ‘getting rid’ of symptoms. Unlike medicine, ‘Life Coaching’ is all about making balance & peace in life.

The Life Coach & Psychologist Dr. G. C. Mehta is a staunch believer of imparting "Life Coaching" timely and properly in regards to emotional set back, helping oneself surely to save from being a depressed or hopeless person.

"Life Coaching" intends to remove clutter from your mind so that you can take decisions at your own, change certain behaviors, improve personal skills, develop increased confidence in your abilities.

‘CHANGE’ is the only constant, this is the basis of ‘Life Coaching’- everything is experiencing change in & around us therefore by changing your attitude & approach towards yourself and others as, when & how required, will make you feel more & more comfortable in life.

Once you have understood & learned the basic strategies for defining and solving problems at your own through ‘Life Coaching’, you become COACH of your own life & may not require professional help again & again.
