Trained GCC Counsellor (UCLA Ext. & Univariety)
Meet Chakshu Kohli—a principal who still teaches, a techie who reads psychology, and a counsellor who believes clarity isn’t a luxury, it’s a right. With over 14 years in education and a diverse background in Computer Applications, Psychology, and Career Planning, Chakshu has built a reputation for guiding students not just to college—but to purpose. By day, he leads Alchemist Academy, a CBSE senior secondary school where he also teaches AI, IT, and Data Science, pushing future-ready skills into real classrooms. By heart, he’s the force behind The Counsel’s Cafe—a space for curious students, lost-in-the-noise teens, and anyone who just needs a real conversation about what’s next.

"I came in confused between multiple career paths after my postgrad. The session didn’t just give me options — it gave me direction. Chakshu Sir asked the right questions, and by the end, I had clarity and a clear plan for the next two years. It felt like talking to someone who really istens and understands the tech industry."
"I thought career counselling was only for students — but I was wrong. As an HR professional stuck in a loop, I found fresh perspective through The Counsel’s Café. The session was structured, deeply reflective, and helped me identify my next growth move. Highly recommended for professionals too!"
"Before the counselling, I was torn between three career options. After just one session, I had peace of mind. Chakshu Sir explained the pros and cons with such clarity that even my parents were convinced. Now I know what to aim for — and how to get there."
"It was my first time speaking to a career counsellor, and I felt so comfortable. Sir helped me understand what stream I might enjoy in the future. He even explained different boards like IB and Cambridge, which we were confused about. I now feel excited, not scared, about the future!"
"I was overwhelmed with CUET prep, university choices, and career confusion. Chakshu Sir helped me simplify everything. From profile building to which subjects I should focus on — everything was sorted. It was a game-changer!"
"I didn’t expect the session to be this detailed. Not only did I get clarity about CUET, but Sir also helped me discover strengths I never considered. The personalised advice was spot-on and practical."
