I absolutely love the rawness and depth of humanity that I get to engage with as a counsellor. A lot of this vulnerability is censored in the world otherwise which I consider quite unfortunate because I’ve discovered that there is a lot of wisdom in it.
I also love that I regularly get to work with people who want to understand and change - themselves, parts of their lives, the world, etc. This willingness to take accountability for our lives (and the world) and to have the flexibility to act on it is not easy, yet this I believe is precisely what the world needs more of. Witnessing these brave journeys that people have regularly reminds me of beauty in the world, fuels my hope and gives my life a sense of meaning.
I have also discovered that the more you engage in this work as a counsellor, the more your understanding - of the world, of life, of humanity, and often of yourself as well - deepens. I love that.
I want strength that is strong enough to hold weariness and awe. Strength that is durable enough to withstand the power of being vulnerable in a harsh world. Strength that makes room for support, for not knowing, for needing, for sitting in discomfort without jumping ship. Strength that doesn't ask us to get over it but also allows us to move forward with it. Strength that knows when to allow for wobbling, for help, for space to stop keeping it all together 100% of the time.

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.
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!
