Life Coach - Remote
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.
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.

- 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:

- 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.
