Get To Know Ahana:

  • Why did you choose to become a counsellor?
    My interest in wanting to explore mental health work came from my own experience and the experiences of my close ones around mental health. Over the years I felt myself wanting to be more actively involved in work and conversations around well being and identity. I’ve since also been driven by my curiosity to discover and explore different ways of creating safe spaces for individuals and communities and what that can make possible.
  • What excites you about your work as a counsellor?
    I love that my process as a counsellor is constantly evolving. My work allows me to be on multiple journeys with multiple people, to be vulnerable together, be curious and hold space for the different ways in which all of us navigate systems and circumstances. I get to learn and unlearn a lot, simultaneously, everyday which feels stimulating and invigorating. My work also allows me to practice the different ways in which I can create safe spaces where pain, anguish, confusion, humour, warmth, discomfort and safety can all co-exist.
  • What do you hope for your clients to experience after their first session with you?
    I hope for them to take back a feeling of being understood and seen, with a clear idea of what the counselling process will look like and their rights. I hope for them to leave with tangible hope and a sense of control over what’s to come.
  • What would you wish to tell a client who is thinking about seeking counselling?
    Counselling can be a long journey but each person has the right to walk it at their own pace and choose their own direction. It may look different for different people, and as your co-traveller, it will be my responsibility to take care of your safety and vulnerability while you chart your own path.
  • Describe the relationship that you would wish to build with your client in counselling.
    A relationship that is founded on trust, communication, collaboration and mutual understanding. I understand that while this may be a professional relationship, the nature of the work that we do is so, so personal for the both of us and I would like our relationship to have room for that contradiction to exist with care and communication.
  • In your counselling work so far, what has been your greatest learning from your clients?
    One of my most significant (un)learnings from my clients has been to step aside from the language and theories taught to me during my training and pay close attention to how my clients are making sense of their lives and their choices. It has helped me acknowledge their expertise alongside my own in the therapy room.
  • What are some of your strengths as a counsellor that you value and appreciate?
    I value my ability to be able to create and hold a safe space for people. I like that I am flexible, open to letting go of my ‘expert’ position and acknowledge what I don’t know and am curious about my client’s stories. I also appreciate my ability to let my client into my thinking process while I connect dots and make sense of their stories.
  • What are some of the things you like to do in your free time?
    I enjoy listening to different kinds of music, playing instruments and singing out loud. On other occasions I watch shows and films, try to read, take long naps, get on long video calls with my loved ones and experiment with food recipes.
  • What is the therapeutic approach you use? How would you describe it to someone who wants to consult you for therapy?
    I prefer to draw from different theoretical approaches in my work as per the needs of my clients and what we collaborative decide as a lens that adds most value to how they would like to explore their concerns. My stance towards therapy is strengths based, rights based and takes into account the context that my clients come from when they’re exploring concerns with me in therapy.
  • How do you make your therapeutic practice a safe and affirmative space for queer and trans* folx?
    Drawing from my own experiences while holding the stories of my queer and trans clients front and center has been the crux of my work as a queer affirmative practitioner. I recently completed the certificate course on Queer Affirmative Counselling Practice by Mariwala Health Initiative and continue to hold myself accountable through readings and supervision.

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 👥, create digital exercises 📱, 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.

No Hidden Fee

To keep their services affordable, every payment happens directly between you and the support provider. We do not take any commissions, which means support providers don't need to inflate their fees to account for middleman costs.

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!
