About Puja
I am a certified life coach, entrepreneur and educator with 15 years of corporate experience and a strong belief in living a happy, healthy and balanced life.
I am a twin mother, homemaker, primary caregiver to my parents, and someone who has navigated the demands of corporate life, entrepreneurship, relationships and family firsthand. These experiences shape the way I coach. I don't just share what I have learned; I connect it to real situations, encourage people to think for themselves, and help them turn knowledge into something they can actually use.
My approach combines professional training in CBT and REBT, my ongoing learning in neuroscience, and the lessons I have gathered through lived experience. I believe the best learning happens when knowledge is understood, questioned, experienced and applied.

My Approach as a Teacher
My approach to teaching is practical, interactive and rooted in real-life application.
I combine structured frameworks and evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and my ongoing learning in neuroscience with lived experience from different areas of life. This allows me to explain concepts in a way that is both structured and relatable, rather than purely theoretical.
My Teaching Techniques & Methods
I use a combination of:
Interactive discussion and questioning to encourage people to think rather than simply listen.
Real-life examples and experiences to make concepts relatable and easier to understand.
Structured frameworks and practical tools that help learners apply what they have learned.
Reflection and self-observation to help people recognise patterns in their own thinking and behaviour.
Evidence-based psychological concepts, particularly CBT and REBT, where relevant.
Personalised guidance, adapting the discussion and level of structure to the individual or group.
The Usual Structure of a Class
My sessions generally begin by understanding the learner's current situation, question or area of difficulty. I then create personalised guidance to help the learner navigate challenges.
The emphasis is not on delivering information for its own sake, but on understanding, questioning, connecting and applying. Depending on the subject and learner, a session may therefore be highly structured or may take the form of a guided conversation. This flexibility is already central to my coaching practice, where sessions can be tailored to the person's preference and, when appropriate, can simply be a meaningful conversation.
What Makes Me Different as a Teacher
My biggest strength is the combination of professional learning and lived experience. I am a twin mother, the primary caregiver of my parents, an entrepreneur and a home maker. I don't approach concepts only from a textbook perspective. My professional experience of 15 years in corporate environments and my experience as an entrepreneur also allow me to bring a practical understanding of pressure, relationships, responsibility and personal growth into my teaching.
I therefore aim to create a learning environment where people feel comfortable asking questions, challenging ideas, relating concepts to their own lives and arriving at their own understanding.
Who My Classes Are For
My approach is particularly suited to mothers, high burnout professionals, elderly, couples, elderly and LGBTQ+ and to learners interested in personal development, emotional intelligence, psychology-informed approaches to everyday life, communication, relationships, resilience, stress management and personal growth.
Most importantly, I am available when my clients need me.
