Get To Know Anieka:

  • Why did you choose to become a counsellor?
    As cliche as it sounds, I realise the lack of mental health support in my life and the lives of those around me and knew from a young age that helping people specifically in this direction was what I wanted to do. It felt like a privilege to hold space for people in their most vulnerable moments.
  • What excites you about your work as a counsellor?
    How different and unique every single client is while also sharing so many lived experiences. I’ve always been so curious as a person about other people’s stories, and my work as a therapist has given me an avenue to learn so much about my clients and the unique ways in which they experience the world.
  • What do you hope for your clients to experience after their first session with you?
    A sense of safety and compassion. I hope my clients feel like they’re welcome to come as they are in this space, feel heard and seen. I hope they leave the session feeling a little lighter, just knowing that they’ve gotten a chance to unload what’s been on their mind for a while and have been able to do so without any judgement.
  • What would you wish to tell a client who is thinking about seeking counselling?
    I’d like them to know that what they need and want is welcomed in the therapy space, and that it’s not a one way street. I’m willing to learn about what works for them from them, even when I don’t have all the answers. I’d also like them to know that therapy isn’t magical or a quick fix. It takes a lot of effort and can be a long journey. It can be an uncomfortable journey too, but the discomfort doesn’t need to be unbearable.
  • Describe the relationship that you would wish to build with your client in counselling.
    My relationship with my clients is friendly while maintaining professional boundaries. I try my best to emphasise that this process is collaborative, I’m here to work with my clients and listen to what they need and expect rather than tell them what they should or shouldn’t do. This means that from the first session onwards, I check in with clients about their comfort and readiness to disclose anything with me or take certain steps in therapy. I’m interested in learning more about who they are as a whole, not just what they might be struggling with.
  • In your counselling work so far, what has been your greatest learning from your clients?
    How resilient we are as human beings and that this resilience lies not in being unimpacted by what life throws at us, but in the desire to cope with that impact, to keep trying to experience happiness and strive for the lives we want to even when things seem bleak at the moment. The ability to persevere and the desire to try has been something I’ve always admired in my clients.
  • What are some of your strengths as a counsellor that you value and appreciate?
    I appreciate my ability to hold space for people no matter how different they are than me, even if their belief systems are drastically different than mine. I value my ability to hold space for my clients’ distress and guide them gently out of the fog. I strongly believe in considering the impact of culture on individual experiences and appreciate that I can work with this consideration, even if it’s different from my own.
  • What are some of the things you like to do in your free time?
    In my free time I love playing video games for the most part. I love cozy games that help me relax and unwind. I also love watching movies or tv shows that follow the same theme of comfort content. I love creative outlets too, in the form of painting or colouring.
  • What is the therapeutic approach you use? How would you describe it to someone who wants to consult you for therapy?
    My approach to therapy is emotionally focused and trauma‑informed, which means we don’t just talk about thoughts and behaviours - we gently explore the feelings, memories, and past experiences that shape how you see yourself and relate to others today. We might look at the different ā€œpartsā€ of you - like the part that criticises, the part that feels anxious, or the part that wants to hide - and help them feel heard and understood, rather than pushed away. We also pay attention to the younger parts of you that may still carry pain or fear from earlier life, offering them the care and safety they didn’t have back then. Alongside this deeper work, I share practical tools to help you manage strong emotions, set healthier boundaries, and feel more balanced day‑to‑day. The goal isn’t just insight, but real, felt change: helping you connect with yourself more kindly, feel less stuck, and move through life with greater ease and self‑compassion.
  • How do you make your therapeutic practice a safe and affirmative space for queer and trans* folx?

    Being LGBTQ+ affirmative in my practice means your identities, pronouns, relationships, and ways of being are respected, never questioned or pathologised. I welcome exploration of gender, sexuality, queerness, and how these intersect with culture, family, and trauma.

    I prioritise ongoing learning by engaging with voices from queer communities, reflecting on my own biases and privileges, and seeking supervision that keeps me accountable. I see this not as a box to tick, but as a continual practice of listening, unlearning, and staying open to feedback, including yours.

    My hope is to offer a space where you don’t have to explain why your identity matters, and where your full self feels seen, safe, and supported.

How It Works

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.

Our curation process

It takes you just a few clicks to find someone who understands you.

We take an immense amount of care in selecting the most inclusive and affirming mental health support providers to join our platform and be part of our growing community.

It took us 7+ years to get here

We have come a long way since we started in 2018, and have been adapting our curation process every day. From the time a therapist or support group reaches out to us, it takes about 1 - 2 months to complete the process.

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 šŸ‘„, create digital exercises šŸ“±, and work on corporate partnerships šŸ¢ 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!
