Office Hours
Every day, I receive lots of questions from readers on my email list, and people who are following along on social media. Sometimes the questions come via email and comments on blog posts. Sometimes they come in response to my newsletters. And sometimes they come up during coaching calls.
So you have a chance to have your question/thoughts answered, I’ve set up dedicated Advanced Relationship Skills Office Hours. You can book a block of time to talk with me about… whatever you’d like. In this way I can be helpful to those who need more assistance beyond my general Q&A, and for those who would prefer help or guidance on a non-public forum. It’s also a chance for me to connect with you more personally, in a completely confidential online environment.
You can book a call immediately via the links below. Select a time that works for your schedule, and we’ll speak on videochat on Zoom (private, secure, and confidential).
Once you select a time, you complete a non-refundable payment for the call, and you may reschedule in case of a change to your schedule.

30 minute calls are available at €59 | INR 5000 | USD 65 | GBP 49 (exchange rates can vary).
As of this writing, I’ve held over 200 meetings and each one has felt totally and completely unique. Some people had specific matchmaking challenges they wanted to get help with. Others had dating questions. Still others wanted to talk about being vegetarian or finding a partner willing to move.
When you sign up for a meeting there’s a spot to mention what you’d like to talk about, and some people wrote: “just for fun,” or “just to chat.” And that’s what we did. Some people listed a specific topic, but then when we started the meeting they changed their mind and we talked about something else. I really am up for talking about whatever you’d like. Here’s just a sampling of what meetings have covered so far:
How Office Hours Work
Meetings are online on videochat so we can chat face-to-face. Would you rather chat with cameras off? That’s fine too. I offer a range of times to accommodate different time zones.
Each month I open up an equal number of 30-minute meetings. Along those same lines, if you and I have already had a 30-minute meeting and you want to schedule another one, please select a 60-minute slot for a longer, more in-depth call.
You can book a call immediately via the links below. Select a time that works for your schedule, and we’ll speak on videochat on Zoom (private, secure, and confidential).
Once you select a time, you complete a non-refundable payment for the call, and you may reschedule in case of a change to your schedule.
Feedback About Office Hours
Here are some testimonials from professionals just like you who booked a call with me:
“Malaika talked me through my situation using a very structured process. We often don’t realise very obvious things unless someone is talking us through them. It’s just a question of having the right skills and approach. Talking to Malaika, it’s like a lightbulb went off. I had these realisations. I was really glad about that.
“I would absolutely recommend Malaika. If you’re stuck, just got for it. She has an extremely insightful way of asking questions, and gives great, well-though-out feedback. She helps you get a sense of what you want. She helps you gain more clarity.”
– Soumyajit Kar
“This was so helpful! Thanks for your advice Malaika, I appreciate the honest feedback and clear set of goals you’ve set before me!” – Courtney Jallo.
“I love that I can come to you with my thoughts in many different places, and you can immediately distill them down to the essence of what I am saying, and then help me work through the solution. It’s so helpful.” – Promit Ray.
“You immediately get how I think. You get that I’m somewhere between Western and traditional, that I want to fall in love, that I want to first know a person fully before deciding to get married to him. I just love it.” – Monica Shankar
So if you want to chat and you’re not sure what you want to chat about, go ahead and sign up. I’m good at talking to people and you will love how supported and comfortable you feel during the meeting. After the meeting, you’ll feel confident, with a specific action plan you can implement immediately to address your unique situation.
