A little about me, and why I’m here.
I’m Phalguni, a listener, coach and Entrepreneur in Residence. For the past four years, I’ve supported people through personal and professional challenges. But there’s a personal reason this work matters to me, too.
When my six-year relationship ended, I was also laid off. I was saying goodbye to someone who had been part of my life for years while facing uncertainty about my career. There was a lot to make sense of, and no clear place to begin.
Finding my footing again took time. It’s a chapter of my life that I carry into this work with care—not because it gives me all the answers, but because it reminds me to make room for someone else’s story.
When we speak, you don’t have to make your thoughts sound neat or know what you want to do next. You can take your time. I’ll listen, ask thoughtful questions, and share another perspective if you’d welcome it.
Whether you’re navigating a relationship, wondering about your career, or simply wanting a conversation about life, I’d be glad to make that space with you.

Start with a free introduction ↗What actually happens in a session?
You choose where to begin. Phalguni listens, asks questions, and helps you make sense of what’s on your mind. If you want input, you can explore perspectives, practise a conversation, or think through a next step together. You don’t need to prepare anything.
What if I don’t know how to explain it?
That’s a perfectly okay place to start. You can say “I don’t know where to begin,” talk about a recent moment, or take your time. You decide how much you want to share.
Will Phalguni give me advice?
If that’s what you’d find useful, she can offer perspectives and practical suggestions within her coaching experience. She’ll also ask what feels right for you. The choices remain yours; this isn’t about someone else deciding how you should live.
Is this therapy or counselling?
No. Listening Turtle offers non-clinical listening and coaching for adults. Phalguni is a coach and Entrepreneur in Residence, not a licensed therapist or clinical psychologist. Sessions do not provide diagnosis, psychological treatment, or crisis support. For mental-health treatment, please speak with a qualified professional.
Should I choose the free call or the full session?
Choose the free 20-minute introduction if you’d like to meet Phalguni, ask questions, and see whether her approach feels right. Choose the 60-minute session if you want dedicated time to explore what’s on your mind. The introduction is not a full coaching session.
When do I pay, and do I need a package?
The full session costs US$49, payable after the session. No upfront payment is required. You can book one session without committing to a package. Further conversations are entirely optional.
How do I join my session?
Sessions take place online. Send a request through the form, and your appointment time and joining details will be arranged before your session. A submitted request is not a confirmed appointment. You don’t need to prepare anything—just find a quiet place to talk.
What can I expect to take away?
The aim is to help you feel heard and make space to think. You may leave with a new perspective, words for a difficult conversation, or a practical next step. Experiences vary; no particular feeling or result is guaranteed.
