Get To Know Rashi:

  • Why did you choose to become a counsellor?
    Since childhood, I have had a strong inclination to be in a helping profession where I could be of service to others. When I experienced my own mental health struggles for the first time as a teen, it was disheartening to see the highly stigmatized and ignorant narrative towards mental health in India. This paved the path for me to pursue psychology so that I could advocate for mental health awareness and contribute towards increasing the well-being and quality of life of individuals. I chose to become a counsellor to let everyone know - It is okay not to be okay. Mental health is health. You are not alone and there’s nothing wrong with you; the person is not the problem, the problem is the problem.
  • What excites you about your work as a counsellor?
    It is an honour and a privilege when clients allow me to be a fellow traveller in their life journey as we co-create a safe, tender, empowering, and reflective space for them to make sense of their experiences, process and sit with pleasant as well as unpleasant emotions, identify patterns and their roots, have insights leading to changes, big and small, and most importantly, show up for themselves, week after week, in the best of ways that they can. Being a witness and a companion to every client’s unique journey is perhaps the most fulfilling part of my work as a counsellor.
  • What do you hope for your clients to experience after their first session with you?
    It is my hope that after our first session, the client feels understood and is hopeful about the process of therapy - I would hope to cultivate an environment where the client sees potential for trust, safety, and a mutually respectful therapeutic relationship that facilitates conditions for healing, growth and desired change. I would want clients to leave our first session with the knowledge that the counsellor is willing to make sufficient efforts, is open to feedback and acknowledging any missteps on their end, and most importantly, has a genuine regard for their client’s well-being.
  • What would you wish to tell a client who is thinking about seeking counselling?
    There doesn’t have to be anything “wrong” with you in order for you to seek therapy. If you feel like you could benefit from a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive reflective space, therapy is for you.
  • Describe the relationship that you would wish to build with your client in counselling.
    In my work, I consider the therapeutic relationship between the client and the therapist an integral part of the process of therapy. My effort is to create a highly collaborative relationship with the client wherein the client is the expert of their own lives and the therapist acts as an interactive mirror (creating a reflective space) as well as a container (holding space for the client’s experiences). The client’s experiences are at the forefront while the therapist has a dynamic/flexible role as per the situation.
  • In your counselling work so far, what has been your greatest learning from your clients?
    We are all doing the best we can, and all of it is influenced by our life experiences, our learning, and our conditioning. Once we become aware of our patterns and invite curiosity and compassion to our experiences, we have the wonderful capacity of creating new patterns and letting go of that which does not serve us any longer.
  • What are some of your strengths as a counsellor that you value and appreciate?
    I am deeply passionate about this work and it helps me in creating a warm, empathetic, and supportive space for my clients. I approach the process of therapy with a lot of curiosity and compassion which helps me in building a space where the client feels heard, understood, and free to be their authentic selves. Lastly, I consider myself to be a lifelong learner and engage in consistent efforts to hone my skills and knowledge so that I can serve my clients better.
  • What are some of the things you like to do in your free time?
    I like to unwind by reading fiction, taking naps, going for long walks in nature, and clicking endless (amateur) pictures of flowers, sunsets, and the moon. I am deeply moved by art, and love dancing, doodling, and writing in my free time.
  • What is the therapeutic approach you use? How would you describe it to someone who wants to consult you for therapy?
    My approach in therapy is client-centred and trauma-informed. The client is the expert of their own life and has the innate capacity to reach their goals. As a therapist, my role is to follow their lead and facilitate the client’s process by creating a space for safe exploration as well as equipping them with tools and resources as and when required. In my practice, I incorporate elements from various modalities including humanistic, feminist, DBT, and parts work (IFS) alongwith a lot of focus on psychoeducation.
  • How do you make your therapeutic practice a safe and affirmative space for queer and trans* folx?
    As a queer-affirmative practitioner, my effort is to co-create a safe and inclusive space, taking into account the unique stressors in the life of queer and trans individuals and how it impacts their mental health while being mindful of my own identity in the society as well as in the therapy room. I actively work to deconstruct the cis-heteronormative influences in language, culture, and social norms that I have learnt. I keep myself informed and updated through lectures, readings, resources, and understanding lived experiences of queer folx.

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!
