Book a Career Counselling Session
I answer my own messages. Tell me who the career counselling session is for and what you are deciding, and I will tell you which service fits and what it costs — before you pay anything.
- Replies within a working day
- English and Hindi
- Online across India
- No obligation to book
Step one
What to put in your first message
You will get a far more useful reply if the first message contains three things. It takes about two minutes to write and it saves a round of back-and-forth.
- Who the career counselling session is for. Yourself, your child, or someone else — and roughly what age or class.
- The decision you are actually facing. “Stream after Class 10”, “degree shortlist”, “whether to leave my job”, “interview next week”. One line is enough.
- Any deadline. A board result, an admission window, a notice period, an offer you are sitting on.
If you are not sure a career counselling session is the right thing at all, say that too. I would rather tell you it is not needed than take a booking that will not help.
Step two
Which career counselling session fits you
You do not have to pick before you message — I will suggest one. But this is the map, with prices as published.
| If this is you | The service | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Class 9–12 student choosing a stream, subjects or a degree | Psychometric Test with Counselling | ₹2,999 |
| You want a fast structured read before committing to a session | AI Career Clarity Report | ₹1,499 |
| Applying for jobs now and not getting callbacks | Resume or LinkedIn | ₹1,499 |
| Rebuilding your whole professional presence | Premium Brand Suite | ₹3,699 |
| Returning to work after a career break | Women’s Relaunch | ₹2,499 |
| Interviews booked and nerves showing | Mock Interview | ₹2,999 |
| Changing function or industry | Career Pivot | ₹3,499 |
| Holding or expecting an offer | Salary Negotiation War Room | ₹4,999 |
Every fee above links straight to secure Razorpay checkout. The full reasoning behind each one is on the career counselling FAQ.
Step three
What happens after you book a career counselling session
- I reply, usually within a working day. You get a straight recommendation: which service fits, what it costs, and what it will and will not do for you.
- If you go ahead, you get an assessment link. You complete it before we meet, so the career counselling session itself is spent interpreting results rather than collecting basic information.
- We meet for forty-five to sixty minutes on Google Meet or Zoom, with me or a counsellor from my MINDSCAN team. For students, a parent is welcome to join for part of the session or all of it.
- You get a written report. The shortlist, the reasoning behind it, and the next steps in order. It is the part you will still be using six months later.
Common worries
Before you book a career counselling session
Four things people ask me privately before they commit. Short answers, because they deserve short answers.
Do I actually need a session, or just some advice?
Sometimes just advice, and I will say so. A career counselling session earns its fee when you are comparing options you cannot weigh objectively, or when the cost of getting it wrong is a degree, a relocation or a resignation. If your question has a one-line answer, you will get it in the reply and pay nothing.
Can I book a career counselling session for my child without them?
You can book it, but the session itself needs the student present — the assessment is theirs and the conversation has to be with them. What works well is a short call with you first to understand the family context, then the full session with your child, which you are welcome to sit in on.
What if I am outside India?
That is fine. Everything runs on Google Meet or Zoom, and I work with Indian families in the Gulf, Singapore, the UK and North America regularly. Tell me your time zone in the first message and I will offer slots that are not the middle of your night.
Can I reschedule a session?
Reschedule freely with reasonable notice — life happens, and a distracted session is worth nothing to either of us.
Worth two minutes
Read this before you write
Most first questions are already answered. The career counselling FAQ covers fees, how online sessions run, what a psychometric test actually measures, stream choice after Class 10, choosing a career after Class 12 and career change after 30. If your question is there, you may not need to message at all.
If you would rather read first, the blog goes deeper on specific decisions, and the free Career DNA protocol is a starting point that costs nothing. For official course lists, recognised universities and exam calendars, check National Career Service, CBSE and UGC directly rather than relying on any counsellor, including me.
