THC Meetups: How can Creatives Cope with Anxiety?

It is only natural that everyone will feel some level of stress and anxiety. Even though mental health has become a widely-publicised topic over the last few years, precious few of us know how to identify symptoms and treat it. The Hard Copy - a publication dealing with Indian design, creativity and innovation - believes now is the right time to address this issue, especially as they hear of stories of increased stress from many people working in the creative sector.

THC writer, Deepak Gopalakrishnan speaks to Vijay Gopal, a qualified mental health counsellor who has a private practice in Mumbai, and who is one of the therapists listed on TheMindClan.com. This session will cover how creative folk can navigate these waters during these difficult times. Prior to his counseling practice, Vijay spent years in the corporate world, which makes him well-placed to help people with workplace and career-related issues.

There is a token fee of 200 per attendee. All proceeds will go to sampark.org, to aid their efforts to provide food and hygiene products to migrant workers.

Finding Support On TheMindClan.com

How It Works

1. Find Support

Browse our curated list of mental health professionals, support groups, and resources that resonate with you.

2. Learn More

Read detailed profiles, specialties, and approaches to understand if they're the right fit for you.

3. Connect Directly

We'll help you reach out and then step aside - your mental health journey is personal.

While we carefully curate our listings, we encourage you to make your own informed decisions. Take time to research, ask questions, verify credentials and choose what feels right for you. Your comfort and safety is top priority.

Inspired By Our Own Struggles.

We launched TheMindClan.com because we know firsthand how challenging it can be to find support for ourselves and our loved ones. We know that experiences of neurodivergence (like dyslexia, ADHD, autism, etc), or being from a marginalized community (LGBTQIA+, etc), can make it especially challenging to find support.

We understand the overwhelming feeling of scrolling through endless lists, wondering whom to trust, and not knowing what to expect.

For Everyone

Whether you're coping with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, grief, or any other mental health concern, we're here to help you find the right support.

Inclusive by Design

If you are queer, neurodivergent, or are from a marginalized community, your experiences are at the heart of what we do.

Handpicked with Care

Support providers are handpicked after personal interviews and a rigorous curation process.

For context: From 442 therapist who wanted to join our platform (Oct 2020–Mar 2025), only 168 made it through our curation process.

Not Just Therapy

We also curate support groups πŸ‘₯, create digital exercises πŸ“±, and work on corporate partnerships 🏒 that help make mental health a priority in more spaces.

No Middlemen. Take Things Ahead Directly

We provide you with direct contact details of support providers, empowering you to reach out, ask questions, and schedule sessions

Access Their Story

Get to know your potential therapist or support group's background & journey, helping you find someone who feels right for you.

Confidential

Your conversations with support groups, therapists, and others remain completely private. We never ask them for any information about the concerns you have shared with them.

Your Relationship, No Interference From Us

If the therapist or support group you choose is not a good fit, you can use our platform to find someone else you feel more comfortable with. We're not here to interfere with your relationship with your support provider.

If you appreciate our mission of making mental health care accessible and inclusive, and would love to bring this to your organization or collaborate with us, we'd be delighted to hear from you!
