Hi I'm Neha. I've lived the world you're trying to navigate.

---

My path was one many aspire to. IIM Ahmedabad, followed by senior marketing roles at P&G, PepsiCo and GSK across multiple countries. Fast promotions, increasing responsibility, a career that ticked every box.

On paper, I was doing well. 

On the inside, success had started to feel heavy and unsustainable. There was a persistent gap between what I'd achieved and how I actually felt about it.

For years I assumed the problem was external — the wrong organisation, the wrong role, the wrong career. I changed teams, jobs and industries, convinced the next move would make me feel better.

The patterns of pressure and self-doubt kept returning wherever I went.

In between, I made choices that didn't fit the conventional trajectory. 

I stepped back from corporate life to raise my family — a decision I never regretted, but one that came with its own quiet version of the same anxiety. 

Am I falling behind? What will people think? Will I ever get back to where I was?

Later I moved into senior roles in the third sector — Akshaya Patra Foundation and World Wildlife Fund — work driven by meaning and purpose rather than career advancement. 

Yet, each transition felt like a departure from the path I was "supposed" to be on. 

Each one asked the same underlying question: am I enough if I can't climb back to the top?

Every non-linear move taught me something the straight path never could — that the anxiety was never really about the decision. It was about what I'd built my worth on.

I had built my career on proving and perfecting. Those traits served me well early on — but as my responsibility grew, they became a ceiling. My ambition kept expanding but my self-trust hadn't kept pace. I was still operating from a need for external validation — measuring my worth by my title, my results, how I looked to others.

The real shift didn't come from a new career strategy. 

It came from fundamentally changing how I operated — from the outside in to the inside out. When I stopped needing external proof to feel good enough, decisions became clearer. Action stopped requiring force. I could pursue bigger goals without being driven by comparison or the fear of falling behind.

That experience — of understanding what was actually keeping me stuck and changing it at the root — is what led me to coaching. I wanted to help others make the same shift without spending as many years going around the wrong problem.

I work with a small number of ambitious professionals at a time — people who started strong, built real careers, and find themselves stuck, behind, or exhausted by the pressure to keep proving themselves. The moment a client stops performing and starts trusting themselves — that's what I do this for. There's nothing quite like witnessing someone come back to themselves - free, fearless, uninhibited.

My approach draws on cognitive science, neuroplasticity and somatic work — tools that create real change at the level where the patterns actually live, not just surface shifts in behaviour or thinking. I don't offer generic advice or quick fixes. I help you change what's genuinely keeping you stuck.

I bring over 1,000 hours of coaching experience and a career spent in the same high-stakes environments my clients inhabit. I understand the pace, the politics, and the specific pressure of senior professional life — because I've lived it.

I'm currently deepening my practice through psychotherapeutic skills training at Metanoia Institute, London — because I believe the best coaches never stop learning.

When I'm not coaching I am usually journalling, enjoying long walks, long chats with people I love, doing jigsaw puzzles, and cuddling my human babies (now teenagers!)  and my precious furry baby Simba. I still have hard days. I still catch myself in old patterns sometimes. I believe that's exactly what makes me a good coach — not despite the ongoing journey, but because of it.

This is the beginning of my story. I'd love to hear yours.
