Offline mentoring

Some conversations are better across a table.

In-person mentoring, Setu circles and community workshops — hosted with schools, colleges, companies, housing societies and civic partners.

Not everything works on a screen. Family conversations, succession discussions, group sessions with students and anything involving an older adult who dislikes video are usually better done face to face.

Anubhav Setu arranges offline mentoring where a mentor and the people involved can meet in a neutral, respectful setting — a partner institution's room, a campus, a workplace, or a community hall — with the same code of conduct and confidentiality as our online conversations.

We also run Setu circles: small, recurring groups where a handful of people at the same stage meet with one or two experienced mentors over several sessions.

How it works

  1. Listen. You describe the situation in your own words — no forms full of jargon.
  2. Understand. A mentor who has lived something similar asks the questions that clarify the real decision.
  3. Guide. Options, trade-offs and what usually happens next, from decades of practice.
  4. Refer. Anything clinical, legal, financial or otherwise regulated goes to our Professional Panel.

“Put two generations in one room with a good listener and most of the argument disappears.”

Availability depends on mentors near you and on partner venues. Tell us your city and what you need, and we will say honestly what is possible.

Anubhav Setu is not a clinical or emergency service. Our mentors are experienced adults who share perspective within their competence; they are not positioned as psychologists, doctors, lawyers or financial advisers. Regulated matters are referred to qualified professionals on our panel.
