Question 1

Who is counselling and coaching at Happivie Consulting for?

Accepted Answer

Dhairya works with young adults who are navigating uncertainty, relationships, academic and career challenges, confidence, wellbeing and personal growth. If you are looking for a thoughtful, non-judgemental space to understand what you are going through and figure out your next steps, this may be a good fit.

Question 2

What age group does Happivie Consulting work with?

Accepted Answer

Dhairya primarily works with young adults between 18 and 30.

Question 3

What's the difference between counselling and coaching?

Accepted Answer

Counselling is a confidential space to understand and work through what feels difficult — emotions, relationships, stress, confidence and the things that feel heavy to carry. Coaching is more forward-looking, focused on personal development, career guidance and life skills: setting goals, making decisions and building practical ways to move toward what you want. The two often overlap, and many people move between them over time.

Question 4

How do I know whether I need counselling or coaching?

Accepted Answer

You don't need to know before reaching out. The initial conversation can help clarify what kind of support may be appropriate for what you're experiencing.

Question 5

Are sessions conducted online?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dhairya primarily works online with clients across India and overseas.

Question 6

What areas can I seek support with?

Accepted Answer

Counselling can support areas such as self-esteem, relationships, social skills, conflict resolution, stress and anxiety, emotional wellbeing, peer pressure and bullying, resilience, academic challenges, life transitions and decision-making. Coaching can support goal setting, procrastination, career planning, decision-making, time management, organisational skills, screen-time, confidence, resilience and personal growth. If what you're experiencing isn't on either list, you're still welcome to reach out.

Question 7

How long is a session?

Accepted Answer

Session length is being finalised and will be shared before your first conversation. [Duration to be confirmed.]

Question 8

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

There is no fixed number. This depends on what you'd like support with, your goals and what feels right for you. Some people come for a few focused conversations; others prefer to work over a longer period. The pace is something we agree on together, and you can pause or stop whenever you choose.

Question 9

Do you offer career guidance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Career guidance is one of the areas covered within the coaching offered at Happivie Consulting.

Question 10

What happens during the first conversation?

Accepted Answer

The first conversation is a chance to talk about what's bringing you here and what you'd like support with, and to see whether this feels like the right fit. There is no expectation to have it all figured out beforehand — you share as much or as little as you'd like, and we'll take it from there.

Question 11

How do I get started?
