A private session with Mrinal Dhar
A focused one-on-one conversation grounded in the same framework that underpins Pinakha's research and training. For leaders, coaches, and individuals who want to understand — and change — what is actually driving their thinking, emotions, and decisions.
Founder & Author, Pinakha
A session built around your specific question
This is not a generic coaching call. Every session is structured around the framework of Self/Agency and Mentalese — the same model behind Pinakha's training programs and Mrinal's book.
A clear diagnosis
We map what is actually happening in your situation — at the level of Self, not just symptoms.
A working framework
You leave with a concrete model for the issue — one you can keep using long after the call ends.
Specific next steps
Not "try harder." Actual interventions, written down, that target the mechanism — not the surface.
A second perspective
Honest, direct feedback from someone whose work is built on translating cognitive science into practice.
Space to actually think
An unhurried 60 minutes designed for depth — not a 15-minute "discovery call" disguised as one.
Follow-up summary
A short written recap after the call — the model, the diagnosis, the next steps — so the insight doesn't evaporate.
Four steps, start to finish
Book a slot
Pick a time that works. Sessions run online over Zoom or in person at our Gurgaon office.
Share the context
A short pre-session brief — what you're working on, what you'd like to walk out with.
60-min deep dive
The session itself. Structured, unhurried, and focused on the real mechanism behind your situation.
Written follow-up
A concise written summary with the framework, diagnosis, and next steps you agreed on.
For people serious about working at the level of mechanism, not symptom
These sessions are best suited for people who already sense that the standard advice — "manage your stress," "find your purpose," "build resilience" — doesn't quite reach the thing they're actually wrestling with.
- Founders and senior leaders making high-stakes decisions under pressure
- Coaches and therapists who want a sharper underlying model for their practice
- People navigating a transition — career, identity, or life stage
- Anyone who's read the book and wants to apply the framework to their own situation
Everything you need to know
One focused hour, designed for depth.
Each session is built around a single, specific question or area you'd like to work through. You'll leave with a clearer map of what's actually going on — and what to do about it.
Attend a Pinakha workshop instead
If you'd rather work through the framework in a small-group setting — with discussion, exercises, and peer learning — Pinakha runs regular workshops grounded in the same model.

Is this therapy?
No. These are educational and developmental sessions grounded in cognitive science — not a substitute for medical or psychiatric care. If you're currently in active mental-health treatment, please speak with your treating professional before booking.
Do I need to have read the book first?
No, though many people find it useful to have. The session is structured so you'll learn the relevant parts of the framework as we go.
What if my question is "vague" or I'm not sure what to bring?
That's completely fine — and quite common. Part of the value of these sessions is making something diffuse into something specific. Just bring what's on your mind.
Is everything I share kept confidential?
Yes. Sessions are fully confidential. Nothing you share is referenced externally, in workshops, or in any published material without your explicit written consent.
Can I book multiple sessions?
Yes. Many people start with one session and then schedule periodic follow-ups — monthly or quarterly — to keep working with the framework as their situation evolves.
Ready to have the conversation?
Limited 1:1 slots open each month. Book a time that works for you, and we'll send a short pre-session brief to get the most out of our hour together.
