Psychiatrist · Sexologist · Life Coach · Mumbai
Most coaches help you
set better goals.
I help you understand
why your mind won’t
let you reach them.
22 years of clinical psychiatry taught me what no coaching course can — that what stops high-achieving people is rarely lack of motivation. It is something deeper. Something the mind is protecting. That is where we begin.
The Clinical Edge
India has over 20,000 life coaches.
Very few of them have spent two decades
inside the human mind.
Most coaching works at the level of goals, habits, and accountability. That is genuinely useful — for a certain kind of problem. But if you have tried setting goals and still find yourself stuck, something else is at work. Anxiety beneath the ambition. A marriage quietly unravelling under the career success. Identity questions that no framework addresses. These require a different depth of understanding.
As a practising Psychiatrist and Sexologist with 22 years of clinical experience across four Mumbai locations, I bring a dimension to life coaching that is simply not available elsewhere: the ability to see what is actually happening — not just what is presenting itself. My coaching is not therapy. But it is informed by it, in ways that matter.
Who I Work With
High-achievers who have built the career —
and are quietly wondering what comes next.
01
The Senior Professional
CXOs, VPs, Senior Managers at Mumbai’s leading firms. You are performing well but running on empty. The pressure is constant and the joy has quietly disappeared. Something needs to shift — and you are smart enough to know willpower alone will not do it.
02
The Entrepreneur
You built the business. Now the business is running you. The decisions feel heavier, the relationships have suffered, and at 3am Mumbai asks you questions you cannot answer. You need someone who understands both the mind and the market.
03
The Professional in Transition
A career change, a marriage at a crossroads, a relocation, a health scare that reordered your priorities. Life transitions expose everything that was quietly not working. This is the right time to build something real.
04
Corporate Engagements
Leadership wellness programmes, executive coaching for senior teams, and organisational mental health frameworks — available to HR and L&D heads. All engagements governed by a formal coaching agreement, distinguishing coaching from clinical treatment.
How It Works
A structured engagement.
Not a sales call.
A 30-Minute Conversation
We begin with a no-obligation call. You tell me what is happening. I listen — clinically, carefully, without agenda. By the end, we both know whether this is the right fit. No pitch. No pressure.
The Coaching Agreement
Every engagement begins with a formal coaching agreement that defines the scope, the structure, and the boundary between coaching and clinical treatment. This protects you and ensures the work stays focused.
Structured Sessions
We work in defined packages — typically 8 to 12 sessions over 3 months. Each session is an hour. Available in-person across four Mumbai locations or online. No WhatsApp voice notes masquerading as coaching.
Measurable Progress
We define what success looks like at the outset and review it midway. Coaching without accountability is just conversation. We measure, adjust, and move.

“I had seen therapists before. This was different. Dr. Sonar understood not just what I was saying, but the layer underneath it. In four months, something shifted that years of effort had not moved.”
A.R. — Senior Director
Financial Services, Bandra West
“The combination of his clinical background and coaching structure is genuinely rare. He is not giving you frameworks from a book — he is reading you. And he is usually right.”
M.K. — Founder
Technology, Andheri West
“I came thinking I needed a career coach. I left understanding that what I actually needed was to stop running from myself. That clarity alone was worth everything.”
S.P. — VP Operations
FMCG, Malad West
“Dr. Sonar does not tell you what to do. He helps you see what you already know but have been avoiding. After 22 years in medicine, that is a very specific kind of skill.”
Dr. N.M. — Consultant Physician
Healthcare, Borivali West
