Get To Know Ashita:

  • Why did you choose to become a counsellor?

    My journey into this field was not a straight path. I didn’t always know I wanted to be a Psychotherapist. In fact, I first studied law and even worked in the field for a while, eventually realising my values and needs did not align with what I was doing.

    Through my own process of unlearning and learning, I came into close contact with experiences of struggle, loss, and the darker emotions of being human. At the same time, I also learned what it means to feel more joy, ease, and lightness in life. That contrast - the movement between darkness and light - showed me how much possibility exists within each of us.

    It is this journey that inspired me to walk alongside others in theirs - to hold space for their aches and questions, and to support them in uncovering parts of themselves they may have buried while growing up.

  • What excites you about your work as a counsellor?
    What excites me most is meeting people from all walks of life and having the privilege to witness their stories—their struggles, their growth, and their moments of triumph. Being trusted to walk alongside someone in their journey, even in small ways, feels deeply meaningful to me.
  • What do you hope for your clients to experience after their first session with you?
    The first session can feel like sitting by a still pond - at first, noticing the ripples of unease, but slowly sensing that there is space here to let things settle. I wish for the client to experience a gentle sense of relief, that they don’t have to carry everything alone.
  • What would you wish to tell a client who is thinking about seeking counselling?
    I would like to say that therapy is not about being “fixed” but about being accompanied. You have the right to go at your own pace, to bring only what feels safe, and to have your boundaries respected. It’s very natural to feel unsure in the beginning, therapy can feel like stepping into unknown waters but you don’t have to dive in all at once. Even dipping a toe is a big starting step.
  • Describe the relationship that you would wish to build with your client in counselling.
    I often return to my own authenticity, presence, and curiosity—and that is what I hope to bring into each session. From that place, I wish for the client and I to together create a relationship that feels steady, and deeply human - where a client doesn’t need to perform or be “a certain way.” I see therapy as a collaborative journey, where clients are invited to share what feels helpful, what doesn’t, and at the pace that feels right for them. My role is not to lead from ahead, but to walk alongside - sometimes pausing, sometimes exploring new paths - always holding space for their truth to gently unfold.
  • In your counselling work so far, what has been your greatest learning from your clients?
    My greatest learning has been that people carry immense strength, often without realising it themselves. Clients have shown me how small steps (like putting feelings into words, setting one boundary, or allowing themselves to rest) can open the door to meaningful change, to trust that healing often takes shape in the ordinary moments, not just the big breakthroughs and that no matter what technique or approach one subscribes to, what truly brings change is presence and the quality of relationship the therapist and the client build together .
  • What are some of your strengths as a counsellor that you value and appreciate?
    I value my empathy, authenticity, ability to bring compassion to another, and the ease with which I connect with people from all walks of life.
  • What are some of the things you like to do in your free time?
    There’s so much that comes to mind - you’ll often find me lost in books—fiction, non-fiction, though my guilty pleasure is definitely reading a romance or rom-com. I love rolling out my yoga mat, cooking (and yes, even cleaning has become a surprising hobby as an adult!), having endless conversations with friends and dabbling in creative arts—painting, playing with colors, or clicking little snapshots of life. But most of all, I cherish slow walks in nature with my partner—they’re my favorite kind of pause.
  • What is the therapeutic approach you use? How would you describe it to someone who wants to consult you for therapy?
    My approach is person-centered and mindfulness-based, integrating body awareness, contemplative practices along with emotions-and-needs exploration, and when helpful, creative expression through writing, play and art. I gently adapt the process to what feels most supportive for each person. My approach and practice holds a culturally sensitive, systemic and a social justice lens.
  • How do you make your therapeutic practice a safe and affirmative space for queer and trans* folx?
    Creating a safe space for queer and trans* clients begins with recognizing that therapy itself can feel unsafe if it repeats the erasures or biases people already face outside. And so, I work to create a space where clients feel safe, affirmed, and celebrated in their fullness. This includes using and being mindful of inclusive language, building safety, actively challenging heteronormative ideas and intersectionality. I also see allyship as an ongoing practice - one of listening deeply, being on the lookout for things to learn - resources to read, people to meet, unlearning biases, owning mistakes and staying accountable to queer-affirmative ways of being, both within and beyond therapy. No matter who is before me, therapy is first and foremost seeing people as humans before anything else.

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

Find someone who understands you, in just a few clicks.

We've developed a curation process over 7+ years, which allows us to carefully curate each inclusive and affirming mental health provider listed on our platform.

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 👥, 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!
