Midlife Transition Coach & Counsellor

Support for burnout, career uncertainty, and life changes—when work, roles, or life circumstances no longer fit.

Free yourself from the life you were assigned and start living the life that’s actually yours

You’ve built a successful life on paper, but something in you knows it doesn’t fit anymore. The exhaustion isn’t from working too hard. It’s from living a life that was never truly yours.

You’ve tried fixing it. Nothing worked. That’s because you can’t see what’s actually wrong. I help you see the patterns you’re stuck in, the inherited expectations, the borrowed life, the roles you never chose. Once you see it, you can change it.

I guide you to find clarity, confidence, and direction so that you can live in alignment with who you truly are.

Rashmi Baya – life transitions counsellor and coach

Rashmi Baya

I’m Rashmi, counselor, coach, and founder of SparkOn. My strength is seeing what’s happening beneath the surface and seeing patterns through chaos.

I help individuals and organisations through transitions – mid-life, existential, career changes, divorce, and the moments when life demands you rebuild from the ground up. I help people identify and break free from invisible scripts that no longer serve them and consciously reinven themselves.

With 25+ years of experience across psychology, leadership development, and a deep understanding of human behaviour, I bring a rare combination of empathy and clarity to your transformation.

Growth isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about becoming who you want to be.

Stress, anxiety, loneliness, feelings of not fitting in, relationships, and life transitions, whether in personal, social, or professional contexts – I’ve gone through all of those myself and offer a safe and compassionate space for you to explore your emotions, uncover hidden strengths, and build resilience.

I also run immersive personal development workshops that take you on a journey of finding yourself, your truth and your inner calm, giving you different perspectives on life and relationships. Often, we feel controlled by our emotions, circumstances, or past experiences. These workshops help you understand yourself, your thoughts, actions and reactions, and begin a conscious change towards taking ownership of your life.

Unlearn the conditioning that keeps you small. Live, lead, and love from your unfiltered truth.

The world needs your unique light, and I’m here to help you shine!

UNSCRIPT your life

who am i discover yourself

WHO AM I?

You built a life around being reliable, successful, and responsible…and now everything is changing and you don’t recognise yourself. Separation, divorce, 40, 50, 60, retirement, empty nest, lost your job, lost your spark…or something else?

If the old version of you is crumbling, I’ll help you find the next one.

where am i going sparkonward

WHERE AM I GOING?

You’ve outgrown the life you’re living. Your tolerance for BS is lower. You value different things than you did a few years ago.

You’re wondering where you’re going, you’re questioning things, even life, and constantly on your mind are 2 words – what’s next?

You’re not lost. You’re evolving. Do you feel it?

how do i get there

HOW DO I GET THERE?

Even when you know where you want to go, there is no google map to show you the way.

It almost seems easier figuring out where you want to go next than getting there. But it’s not.

I’ll help you activate your inner compass and create a clear path forward to live a life that you want – step by step.

“Working with Rashmi has been a turning point for me. When I first came to her, I was feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward. She helped me gain clarity and see things from a new perspective. What I value most is how she calls a spade a spade. Her straightforward approach pushed me to confront the things I was avoiding and take real steps toward change. Because of our work together, I have become more confident, focused, and at peace with my decisions. I would wholeheartedly recommend Rashmi to anyone who is feeling stuck and looking for genuine growth.”

“Rashmi has a rare ability to see beneath the surface. She has a calm yet direct way of asking questions that weren’t always comfortable, but they were exactly what I needed. Today, I am clearer, more confident, and feel like myself than I have in years.”

“Rashmi is absolutely amazing at what she does. She has a way of getting to the heart of things, calling a spade a spade. Yet she does it with the compassion and empathy that really qualifies her as a healer. What makes her exceptional is that she has the ability to do this with children, teenagers adolescents and adults, all in the same manner. I totally recommend a session with Rashmi.”

“During one of the most challenging periods in my life, Rashmi helped me see that I don’t need to control everything. I learned to let go of what I can’t control and focus on what truly matters. I’m deeply grateful for the compassion, wisdom, and perspective she shared with me. Her coaching has been a catalyst for growth, calm, and confidence in every area of my life.”

“My process with Rashmi, was very meaningful experience. She has the ability to genuinely see and understand what is below the surface, get right to the core without “wasting” time. Her sensitive way to simply explain and put words to my confusion, really helped me understand and grow. Definitely untangled few of my old ties. I feel clearer and lighter and I’m grateful for that!”

“When I first met Rashmi, I was completely lost, emotionally drained and questioning everything about who I was and what I wanted next. She helped me find calm in the chaos. Our sessions gave me space to breathe, reflect, and slowly rebuild my confidence. Rashmi has this gentle but powerful way of helping you see what’s really going on beneath the surface. I’m learning to trust myself again and make choices that actually feel like me.”

The Courage to Belong to Yourself

You belong to yourself. That's it. That's the whole revolution. Not in the way the world sells it—the self-help version where you glow and everyone wants what you have. Real belonging means your life isn't organized around what people think of you anymore. It means your sadness is yours. Your failures are yours. Your joy is yours.

When Loneliness Makes You Ignore Yourself

,
You feel the pull of loneliness like gravity. So you negotiate with reality because the alternative- being alone again- feels unbearable. So you stay. Not because you want him. Because you don't want that.The cost isn't just this relationship. It's learning not to trust yourself anywhere. Because staying with someone who doesn't respect you isn't avoiding loneliness. It's just being lonely with company.
