About Karma Journey Co.

Ready to take the next step in your career and life journey? Let’s work together.

Hi, I'm Dipika

I am a Careers Consultant, Coach, and Mental Health Counsellor in training, dedicated to helping individuals navigate career transitions and life’s uncertainties with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

With nearly a decade of experience in higher education, career development, and coaching, I specialise in guiding people through moments of change, whether it’s redefining their career, stepping into leadership, or finding alignment between their personal and professional aspirations.

In my coaching practice, I work with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, providing a holistic, intersectional, and client-centred approach. I believe true success is built on self-awareness, resilience, and balance - mental, physical, and financial wellbeing all play a role in shaping a fulfilling life and career.

My coaching style is warm, collaborative, and results-driven, ensuring you feel seen, heard, and supported in taking the next steps toward your goals.

My lived experiences as a 5th-generation Fijian-Indian woman and recent migrant to Australia deeply informs my work. I am passionate about women’s empowerment, cultural identity, and storytelling, and I draw inspiration from spirituality, nature, and heritage to help my clients reconnect with their values and strengths.

Beyond my work, I am a free-hand henna artist, traveller, and lifelong seeker of knowledge and experience. My mission is to help people embrace uncertainty with intention, design meaningful careers, and build lives that truly reflect who they are.

My Credentials

I’m committed to offering high-quality, up-to-date career coaching and life design support, grounded in ongoing training, education, and real-world experience. My qualifications (and knowledge + experience) reflect a genuine dedication to continuous learning and a deep understanding of the different life and career paths people are on.

I also believe we never stop learning, and they can take many forms as we experience life which is why I’m always building my skills and staying across new ideas and approaches through my own work.
