Get To Know Niharikaa:

  • Why did you choose to become a counsellor?
    I discovered the field of counselling in high school, and it immediately felt like a calling. I’ve always believed that people carry deep emotional experiences within them, often without anyone to truly witness or hold space for those moments. Having personally felt the impact of being seen and heard, I was drawn to offer that same presence to others. Becoming a counsellor has allowed me to do meaningful work by creating safe, non-judgmental spaces where clients can explore their inner worlds. It’s also my way of giving back to society and contributing to something that genuinely matters
  • What excites you about your work as a counsellor?

    What excites me most about being a counsellor is the opportunity to witness and be part of so many rich and diverse human experiences. The very act of being present with someone in their vulnerability and offering them a safe space can, in itself, be transformative. Even small shifts can create meaningful change in someone’s life, and being part of that process is incredibly fulfilling.

    This work is also deeply enriching on a personal level. Beyond academic knowledge, it offers continuous learning through human connection. The therapeutic space often mirrors back insights that deepen my own self-awareness and growth. It’s a profession that not only serves others but constantly teaches and shapes me too and that, I find profoundly motivating.

  • What do you hope for your clients to experience after their first session with you?
    I hope clients leave the first session with a sense of comfort, feeling heard, accepted, and free from judgment. Most importantly, I want them to feel safe enough to be authentic and know that this is a space where their experiences matter.
  • What would you wish to tell a client who is thinking about seeking counselling?
    I’d start with acknowledging that therapy can feel daunting and that their pain is valid. I’d reassure them that it’s okay to have doubts or questions, and I’d take time to gently clarify any misconceptions. Most of all, I’d offer a transparent, grounded sense of what therapy can look like, reminding them that this space is theirs to explore at their own pace.
  • Describe the relationship that you would wish to build with your client in counselling.
    I strive to build a transparent, collaborative relationship with my clients—one that is grounded in trust, authenticity, and mutual respect. I work from a humanistic space, so I don’t see myself as someone who leads the sessions, instead I believe in meeting clients where they are. After all, they’re the experts of their own experiences. I encourage openness and authenticity, aiming to create a space that feels real and safe, while maintaining a professional and supportive therapeutic relationship.
  • In your counselling work so far, what has been your greatest learning from your clients?
    There have been countless learnings in my journey as a therapist, and I only hope to keep learning more. Every client has taught me something different, whether it’s acceptance, resilience, or the courage to face the unknown. Being invited into someone’s inner world and witnessing their most authentic self has, in turn, encouraged me to be more authentic myself. Through their journeys, I carry with me a deep sense of hope, compassion, and a constant reminder of the strength that lives in each person.
  • What are some of your strengths as a counsellor that you value and appreciate?
    I believe compassion and curiosity are two of my greatest strengths. They allow me to genuinely welcome my client’s authentic self without judgment and to hold space for whatever may arise in the session. Curiosity helps me stay open and present, while compassion helps me meet each client with care and understanding.
  • What are some of the things you like to do in your free time?
    During my free time, I enjoy reading, going for walks, engaging in movement or working out, spending time with friends and family, and sometimes simply sitting with myself in reflection.
  • What is the therapeutic approach you use? How would you describe it to someone who wants to consult you for therapy?

    My therapeutic approach is eclectic and trauma-informed, grounded in humanistic and relational principles. I place importance on meeting clients where they are, viewing therapy as a collaborative process where the client remains the expert of their own experience. The foundation of my work is to offer a space that feels safe, non-judgmental, and authentic allowing what needs to emerge to do so at its own pace.

    My work is also deeply relational and rooted in understanding the role of attachment patterns, early life experiences, and how they shape our emotional world and relationships in adulthood.

    I integrate elements from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Transactional Analysis (TA), and Gestalt therapy. These modalities support exploration of the multiplicity within the self, bringing awareness to internal dynamics, patterns of relating, and emotional responses. The work often focuses on both the influence of past experiences and what is happening in the “here and now,” creating space for insight, integration, and change.

    Overall, my practice is rooted in holding space with curiosity, compassion, and transparency honoring the complexity of each individual’s process.

  • How do you make your therapeutic practice a safe and affirmative space for queer and trans* folx?

    As a therapist rooted in humanistic principles, I welcome each individual with unconditional positive regard, empathy, and respect for who they are. I hold space for people from all communities, without expecting them to fit into any pre-defined box, allowing for fluid and open exploration of identity.

    I strive to ensure that gender, sexuality, and identity are never pathologized but seen as valid and integral parts of the self. I’m intentional about the language I use, remain open to feedback, and stay accountable through ongoing supervision and self-reflection.

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

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!
