Get To Know Mannya:

  • Why did you choose to become a counsellor?
    Psychology and counselling weren’t something that came to me in a straightforward way. in his poem “The Road Not Taken,” Robert Frost talks about taking the road less travelled by. I initially did the opposite and took the road everyone seemed to travel, becoming an engineer because I wasn’t sure what I truly wanted. I struggled a lot at work because I wasn’t using anything that I was skilled in. I have always been a people-oriented person, getting energized by engaging in conversations, but that wasn’t part of my job description. So, I quit, took a career assessment, and was told to explore the social science field, and that is how I got into counselling. Studying psychology and delving into the intricacies of human connections never felt like a task; it felt natural and deeply satisfying. And while the journey might have had a few diversions along the way, I am happy to be in a profession where I can be my true and authentic self.
  • What excites you about your work as a counsellor?
    My clients. None of us are born with a handbook on how to navigate life, and my favorite part of counselling is understanding how each person has forged their own unique path. No matter how many clients | meet, each one brings their own distinct experiences and stories.
  • What do you hope for your clients to experience after their first session with you?
    A sense of safety, understanding and not feeling judged. Many clients share that they’ve never spoken about their issues to anyone else because they feel misunderstood. One of my main goals in the first session is to show that the therapy space is a place where they can be completely themselves and speak their minds freely.
  • What would you wish to tell a client who is thinking about seeking counselling?
    1. Check the qualifications of your therapist. Ensure they have at least a Masters in Psychology if they’re a Counselling Psychologist and an M.Phil from an RCI accredited institute if they’re a Clinical Psychologist.

    2. Ask questions to any potential therapist. Ask them about their therapy process, if they have previous experience working with your concerns, their charges, their rescheduling and cancellation policies, etc. Have introductory calls with multiple therapists and choose one with whom you feel comfortable.

    3. If at any point in time you don’t feel comfortable with your therapist, let them know. You have the right to discontinue with your therapist if you feel unheard or unsafe.

  • Describe the relationship that you would wish to build with your client in counselling.
    In my first session I talk to them about how therapy is their space where they can be as free and vulnerable as they want. We also talk about them having the choice to always let me know if they disagree with me or if I misunderstand what they’re saying. Before any goal-setting, homework, assessment, referral to other professionals, I always ask their input.
  • In your counselling work so far, what has been your greatest learning from your clients?
    How they have navigated different challenges ad obstacles and persevered to reach where they are. Many have confronted significant setbacks, yet they’ve found ways to cope, learn, and transform their experiences into a source of strength.
  • What are some of your strengths as a counsellor that you value and appreciate?
    Empathy and a non-judgmental stance will always be the two most valuable skills as a therapist. Those are my strengths, but I also understand that as a human, I might still make mistakes. So taking accountability for my actions is another skill and strength that is very important to me as a counsellor.
  • What are some of the things you like to do in your free time?
    Watch a show (I love crime shows!), read, sing, spend time with family and friends. I also love going to the beach and listening to the waves.
  • What is the therapeutic approach you use? How would you describe it to someone who wants to consult you for therapy?
    I use a schema and attachment oriented framework, which means I focus on how a client’s childhood experiences, relationships, and attachments with primary figures (parents, siblings, caregivers) in their lives have shaped who they are today.
  • How do you make your therapeutic practice a safe and affirmative space for queer and trans* folx?
    Ensuring a non-judgmental approach with every client. In my intake form I state my gender and pronouns and also give my clients the choice of them wanting to state theirs. My supervision spaces are queer affirmative. I also read up on queer experiences and queer affirmative therapy.

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.

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!
