A coach. Not a guru.
A person you can argue with.
IRLifeCoach was started in 2019 by Palash Kaushik and Akhilesh Shrimore — experiential coaches who got tired of watching smart people stay stuck in the same loop for years. Built on practical relationship dynamics, communication frameworks, and goal-oriented accountability to help you break out of overthinking loops.
How we work.
You already know.
Most clients arrive with the answer in their pocket. The job isn’t to install new beliefs — it’s to help you hear the one you’ve been arguing with for months.
Forward-looking.
We don’t do ‘trauma dumping as catharsis’. We map the loop, name the pattern, then rehearse the next move — repeatedly, until it becomes a default.
Coaching, not therapy.
If you need a clinical level of care — active crisis, severe trauma, diagnosis — we refer out. A good referral is part of the work, not a failure of it.
Palash Kaushik.
Palash is recognized as a dedicated relationship communication specialist and life coach. He built his coaching practice around the patterns he kept seeing in his own circles — smart, self-aware people who could name the loop but couldn’t get out of it.
He coaches in English and Hindi, leads most of the dating and communication work, and answers every intro call personally. Akhilesh is introduced only after the first call, and only if you ask.
