Perhaps you’re here because..
You feel stuck or disillusioned with your current life circumstances, particularly your job. It’s a meaningless slog you didn’t sign up for when you got the degree.
You’ve jumped from one role to another and one company to another in search for the ‘perfect position’, but it’s always the same faces, the same meaningless slogans and the same unfulfilling grind.
You’re sick of the financial chains gripping you and you keep dreaming about a side hustle that will get you unshackled from corporate servitude.
Coffee breaks aren’t just ‘hanging with workmates’, they’re a gasp for air as you’re drowning in paperwork, spreadsheets and your mailbox.
You’re wondering what you’re doing here.
You’re asking whether this is all there is, because deep down you know this can’t be it.
You want to be doing something more fulfilling with your life.
You want to be free.
I feel you, I’ve been there and I know it sucks…
But, I’m not there anymore.
And you don’t have to be either.
Hi there! I'm Akshay..
I’m a credentialed counsellor and life coach based in Perth, Western Australia.
I help early to mid-career working professionals who are experiencing disillusionment or struggling to find fulfillment in their personal or working life by helping them find Meaning and Purpose, and in making the necessary changes so that they’re able to live a liberating, empowering and fulfilling life.
Through online counselling and career coaching across Australia, I support professionals who feel trapped by the modern corporate grind, burnout and constant pressure to “keep performing”.
I have years of experience in the professional corporate environment as an engineer, so I deeply understand the unfulfilling grind, draining facade and slog of modern corporate jobs. I understand wanting to quit and wanting to do something more fulfilling and authentic, which also allows you to live the life you want.
I’ve been there and made it happen. It’s possible.
So don’t worry, you’re not alone.
“I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist.
People liberate themselves.”

What makes Kintsugi so different…
-
Instead of focusing on meaningless coping mechanisms, finding “the next job” or hollow career achievements.
At Kintsugi, we’ll explore the deeper reasons your work feels misaligned — your values, identity, beliefs about yourself and success and the emotional layers beneath burnout or dissatisfaction.
We’ll rebuild your relationship with work first, then figure out the next steps and direction from a place of clarity. -
This isn’t surface-level optimization.
My approach integrates psychoanalysis, Buddhist & Taoist principles, and holistic self-inquiry to help you understand what’s happening beneath the anxiety, confusion or withdrawal — without bypassing reality or responsibility.
We explore what matters, not just what’s next. -
I’ve been exactly where you are — trapped in the corporate grind, successful on paper but hollow inside, and terrified to make a change.
I understand the tension between financial security, social expectations and the desire for a meaningful life.
I don’t offer generic advice — I walk alongside you because I’ve lived the journey myself.
