Untangling you

Some weeks, everything feels tangled.

You may already know what you want to do. So why does it still feel so difficult?

That’s where we begin to untangle things.

Is this you?

You might be in the right place if…

Tap any that sound familiar. Nothing is saved.

Margin notes from Pria

Your brain is a prediction machine. It's constantly guessing what happens next based on what's happened before.
On comfort zonesRead the post
In my work, I often notice that a trigger points to an unmet need, or a cut to a value we hold dear.

You don't need more quality time with the problem. You need quality time away from it.

What we work on

Life as it stands, not on idealism.

TransitionsYou know something needs to change. You're just not sure what comes next.Career Shifts · Life Transitions · Identity After Parenthood PatternsYou understand why you react the way you do. And yet, you keep doing it.Recurring patterns DecisionsYou've thought it through, weighed the options, and somehow you're still going in circles.Difficult decisions MoneyIt's rarely just about the numbers. Money can bring up patterns, beliefs and reactions you didn't expect.Your relationship with money StuckLife looks fine on paper. But something feels off, and you can't quite explain why.When fine doesn't feel fine Cognitive OverloadToo much to think about, too many decisions to make, and no space left to think clearly.Mental load & decision fatigue

How it works

This isn't a program or a set of techniques.

  1. 01

    A free first conversation

    There's no pressure to arrive with a “problem statement”. You don't need to have it all figured out. A few lines are enough.

  2. 02

    Your actual week

    Specific evidence, not generic patterns.

    The conversation you’re avoiding.

    The exact moment yesterday you did the thing you said you wouldn’t.

    The feeling you know but feel helpless about.

  3. 03

    You choose differently

    Sometimes that takes a single conversation. Sometimes several. I don't fix. Together, we think, notice, and you choose differently.

Testimonials

“What stood out most was her ability to listen carefully and ask the right questions. She doesn’t rush to conclusions or offer easy answers. Instead, she creates space for you to think, and her questions often make you look at something from a perspective you hadn’t considered before.”

Berinder SahniPrincipal Investments, SBI Ventures, India

“The changes were subtle at first but session after session I built more and more confidence and eventually managed to step out of a situation that I felt stuck in for a very long time.”

Questions

Before you book

More in the full FAQ, or email pria@coachingwithpria.com

01What is Psychology & Neuroscience-Led Coaching?

Coaching that draws on what psychology and neuroscience understand about habits, stress and decision-making, and applies it to your actual week. My training is an MSc in Psychology & Neuroscience of Mental Health from King's College London, but a session with me isn't a lecture on either. We use what's useful, and leave the rest.

02Who do you work with?

I work with people navigating transitions, recurring patterns, difficult decisions, their relationship with money, or simply feeling stuck when life looks fine on paper. Many are capable people who understand themselves quite well already, but find that understanding alone hasn't changed what's happening.

03Can we work together online?

Yes. Most sessions take place online, in English or Hindi. We can discuss other arrangements during our first conversation.

04Is coaching the same as therapy?

No. Coaching works with how you're living, deciding and reacting now. It isn't a replacement for therapy or medical care, and if something points to a need for clinical support, I'll say so and suggest the right professional.

05How many sessions will I need?

Sometimes that requires just a single conversation. Sometimes it takes several. There is no fixed programme to move through.

06What happens in the free first conversation?

There's no pressure to arrive with a problem statement. We start wherever you are, talk about what is going on, and see whether working together would help.

Coaching for the space between knowing and doing.

A few lines are enough.

You don't need to have it all figured out. We start wherever you are.
