Are you a certified and experienced Life Coach in India, specializing in areas such as Life Coaching, Wellness Coaching, or non-clinical Mental Health Coaching? Are you passionate about empowering individuals to achieve their personal and professional goals and enhance their overall life satisfaction? Mentalzon.com is seeking ethical, skilled, and client-focused Life Coaches to join our telehealth platform, connecting you with clients across India seeking private online coaching services.

About Mentalzon.com:

Mentalzon.com is a dynamic digital platform in India dedicated to fostering personal growth and well-being by connecting individuals with qualified support professionals. We recognize the significant impact that professional life coaching can have on an individual's journey towards a more fulfilling life. Our platform empowers Life Coaches to build or expand their independent private practice with autonomy, secure technology, and the ability to reach clients seeking guidance and motivation.

Important Note on Scope of Practice:

Life Coaching services provided through Mentalzon.com are non-clinical and focus on personal development, goal setting, and future-oriented strategies. Life Coaching is distinct from therapy, counselling, and clinical mental health treatment. Life Coaches do not diagnose or treat mental health disorders or provide psychological therapy. A commitment to operating strictly within this non-clinical coaching scope and referring clients to appropriate regulated health professionals when needs fall outside of coaching competence (e.g., for mental health conditions requiring therapy) is essential.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Deliver Remote Life Coaching Sessions: Partner with clients via secure video conferencing to explore their aspirations, identify life goals (e.g., career, personal development, relationships from a coaching perspective, well-being habits), and co-create pathways to achieve them.
  • Facilitate Goal Clarification & Action Planning: Utilize established coaching models (e.g., GROW, SMART goals), powerful questioning, and active listening to help clients gain clarity, define actionable steps, and build momentum.
  • Empower Client Potential: Support clients in identifying their strengths, values, and resources; overcoming limiting beliefs; and developing self-efficacy and new perspectives.
  • Foster Accountability & Motivation: Provide a supportive and motivating environment, helping clients stay accountable to their goals and navigate challenges.
  • For Wellness/Mental Health Coaches (Non-Clinical): Support clients in developing and implementing positive lifestyle habits, stress management techniques, resilience-building strategies, and achieving self-identified well-being goals in a non-therapeutic capacity.
  • Maintain Professional Boundaries: Clearly articulate the role and scope of a life coach, distinguishing it from therapeutic interventions, and make ethical referrals when necessary.
  • Maintain Coaching Records: Keep appropriate, confidential records of coaching engagements and client progress, adhering to ethical coaching guidelines and privacy best practices (including the DPDP Act, 2023).
  • Uphold Ethical Standards: Adhere to a recognized coaching code of ethics (e.g., International Coaching Federation - ICF Code of Ethics, or equivalent).

Essential Requirements:

  • Coach-Specific Training: Verifiable completion of a comprehensive life coach training program from a recognized and reputable institution or school (e.g., minimum 60+ hours of coach-specific training; programs accredited or aligned with standards of bodies like the International Coaching Federation - ICF - are highly regarded).
  • Coaching Experience: Demonstrated experience in providing life coaching services to individuals, with a track record of helping clients achieve positive outcomes.
  • Clear Understanding of Coaching Scope & Ethics: A strong understanding of core coaching competencies, ethical guidelines (such as those provided by ICF), and the critical distinction between coaching and regulated therapeutic or medical professions. Commitment to operating within this scope.
  • Right to Work: Must possess the legal right to work on a self-employed basis within India.
  • Technical Proficiency: Competence in using secure video conferencing platforms for coaching sessions and basic client management/communication tools.
  • Professional Environment: Access to a stable high-speed internet connection and a private, secure, and professional workspace suitable for confidential coaching conversations.
  • Core Coaching Competencies: Excellent active listening, powerful questioning, direct communication, goal-setting facilitation, creating awareness, building rapport, and client empowerment skills. Strong ethical judgment and boundary management.
  • Language Proficiency: Fluency in English is essential. Proficiency in one or more Indian regional languages is highly desirable for broader client reach.

Desirable Requirements:

  • Professional Credential/Membership: Credentialed member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) at ACC, PCC, or MCC level, or full practising membership with another reputable coaching association that has a robust code of ethics, competency framework, and credentialing process.
  • Niche Specialization: Proven expertise and/or specific certification in a life coaching niche (e.g., executive, career, ADHD, resilience, mindfulness, specific wellness areas).
  • For "Mental Health Coach" Applicants: Additional training or certification in mental health first aid, peer support principles, recovery-oriented coaching, or positive psychology, specifically applied in a non-clinical coaching context.
  • Significant Tele-Coaching Experience: Extensive experience in delivering coaching services effectively via telehealth platforms.
  • Background in a Complementary Field: Previous experience or qualifications in fields such as psychology, human resources, education, or business (applied strictly within a coaching framework and not as therapy or advice-giving).
  • Professional Indemnity Insurance: Covering life coaching practice (including telehealth) in India.

Conditions of Engagement (Self-Employed Basis for Private Coaching Practice):

  • Autonomy and Flexibility: Define your own working hours, coaching packages/session structures, and client focus to align with your professional expertise and business aspirations.
  • Work Remotely (India): Provide coaching services from any suitable private and professional location within India.
  • Strictly Private Billing – No Rebates:
    • Set your own competitive rates for your life coaching services.
    • Important Note: Life Coaching services are not eligible for government health schemes or private health fund rebates in India. Clients will be paying entirely privately.
    • (Typical private life coaching rates in India vary widely, e.g., INR ₹1000 to ₹3500+ per session, depending on the coach's experience, credentials, niche, and package offerings).

If you are considering psychotherapy but do not know where to start, a free initial consultation is the perfect first step. It will allow you to explore your options, ask questions, and feel more confident about taking the first step towards your well-being.

It is a 30-minute, completely free meeting with a Mental Health specialist that does not obligate you to anything.

Potential benefits of a free initial consultation

During this first session: potential clients have the chance to learn more about you and your approach before agreeing to work together.

Offering a free consultation will help you build trust with the client. It shows them that you want to give them a chance to make sure you are the right person to help them before they move forward. Additionally, you should also be confident that you can support your clients and that the client has problems that you can help them cope with. Also, you can avoid any ethical difficult situations about charging a client for a session in which you choose not to proceed based on fit.

We've found that people are more likely to proceed with therapy after a free consultation, as it lowers the barrier to starting the process. Many people starting therapy are apprehensive about the unknown, even if they've had sessions before. Our culture associates a "risk-free" mindset with free offers, helping people feel more comfortable during the initial conversation with a specialist.

Another key advantage for Specialist

Specialists offering free initial consultations will be featured prominently in our upcoming advertising campaign, giving you greater visibility.

It's important to note that the initial consultation differs from a typical therapy session:
