Get To Know Anuradha:

  • Why did you choose to become a counsellor?

    The short answer would be, I did not know who else to be.

    The longer answer would be, I grew up as an undiagnosed highly verbose and curious adhd + autistic kid, who felt immensely, who was too blunt to her own fault, and would have a lot of questions for everyone. I felt misunderstood everywhere I went. For a long time, I thought this is how everyone feels, all the time. I grew up and I realized, โ€œnot everyone, Lakshman.โ€

    I have always had a deep innate calling to understand others and hold what feels misunderstood and discarded. I have found my heart and bones reach out for those who have been pushed to the margins. After all, disability and trauma are not nouns. They are living words, verbs. These are experiences โ€“ disabling and traumatizing.

    I have arrived in my therapist practice as a wounded healer. I firmly believe in the power of love, care and being vulnerable as the antidote to all the hate, disparity and difference in the known human-world. We are all inherently unique, different and diverging from one another, however our need to be seen is shared. I chose to become a counsellor to see the human in front of me, ebbing and flowing, slowly and gently arriving at a life of meaning, authenticity, safety and connection.

  • What excites you about your work as a counsellor?

    The continuous privilege of witnessing human lives in their full spectrum of colour, never ceases to amaze me. At my core, I am a curious artist, excited and marvelled at the opportunity to just see life from someoneโ€™s perspective. It is my honour that people come to me to show me their core parts and allow me to witness it for them.

    This work humbles me everyday. I get to learn something new and find creative ways of becoming a kinder, softer and more rested human being. My clients make me a better practitioner.

    It is of course a hard job too, the emotional labour can get very draining from time to time. There is always more to read, learn and process. Yet, I find myself almost charged (no matter how drained I have been) to meet folks who trust me with care, comfort, compassion and confrontation. Holding and containing clients keeps me grounded in my values of feminism, social justice, and anti-oppression practices. It is thoroughly enriching to have a career that allows me to be value-driven, autonomous and sit with the discomfort/ pleasures of the human condition.

  • What do you hope for your clients to experience after their first session with you?
    My hope is that through the first session itself the client is able to experience a sense of open curiosity from my end. I hope they feel seen and heard. As a therapist, I want to be able to offer an understanding, safe, non-judgemental and inviting space for the serviceusers. However, safety and the experience of being understood looks different for everyone and in my practice, I like to co-create safety rather than promise it as a given.
  • What would you wish to tell a client who is thinking about seeking counselling?
    1. We did not come on this planet to make it alone.
    2. Reach out.
    3. We all need other humans to witness us and help us understand ourselves.
    4. Therapy is not a quick fix.
    5. Therapist is not an expert on the human experience.
    6. Therapy is not a personalized self-help book.

    Therapy is relational work. Therapy is an opportunity to experience a safe, non-judgmental, caring, present, and attuned relationship with another adult within the ethical boundaries of the therapeutic relationship.

  • Describe the relationship that you would wish to build with your client in counselling.
    My first and foremost priority in building a relationship with my clients is always to get to know them and see their life through their lived sensory experience. I spend quite a bit of time gauging what feels comfortable and find ways of co-building safety. I like to spend some time experimenting and finding ways of expressing that feel intuitive and safe, for example, art, talking, picture books. I try to gauge with the client what will help them open up, and what are their hopes from the space. The therapeutic relationship is an ongoing process within which all the work (recognizing patterns, change, healing, growth, etc.) happens. I see the therapeutic relationship as the foundational container of all holding, witnessing, connection and change.
  • In your counselling work so far, what has been your greatest learning from your clients?
    Our body communicates to us through emotions and sensations. No matter who we are, each one of us speaks this language even if we donโ€™t have words to express it. Anger is the bodyโ€™s way of telling you what it doesnโ€™t want and grief is a friend that sits with us when nobody else does. It is a reminder of absence of what we wished we had and what all we lost, and sometimes, it is a reminder of what we will never have. We are all grieving something or someone. We need to learn to listen to our body. Else, the body will find a way to make its voice heard. We need to rest, laugh, cry, celebrate and mourn more. Over and over again.
  • What are some of your strengths as a counsellor that you value and appreciate?
    Honesty, pattern recognition, capacity to care, empathize and be angry, humour, intentional presence, being a messy human myself
  • What are some of the things you like to do in your free time?
    -cook -play guitar -read -learn about new things -laugh -travel
  • What is the therapeutic approach you use? How would you describe it to someone who wants to consult you for therapy?

    Therapy with me is a space for exploration and collaboration towards bringing together your vision of life and center what is valuable to you. I use talk based and body based approach in sessions. I also use art, writing and picture books for expression of your version of your life and exploration of what matters to you.

    I actively work towards an anti-oppressive approach in my work (anti-caste, social and disability justice, queer affirmative, neurodivergence informed).

    Theoretically speaking, I use a mix of Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Existential Therapy and Person centered therapy. My practice is trauma sensitive.

  • How do you make your therapeutic practice a safe and affirmative space for queer and trans* folx?
    -by not assuming that I get it -being curious -holding space for unique life stressors and affirming that being queer and trans in an openly trans/queerphobic world is dysregulating, disabling and unfair -consuming literature created by queer folks -leaning into my own queerness and having a queer supervisor -centering lived experience over and above any media representation

3. Connect Directly

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 2020โ€“Mar 2025), only 168 made it through our curation process.

Not Just Therapy

We also curate support groups ๐Ÿ‘ฅ, create digital exercises ๐Ÿ“ฑ, and work on corporate partnerships ๐Ÿข 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!
