Firdous Memon — Founder
What I do: I am a counselling psychologist in private practice, working with adults and young adults on anxiety, depression, life changes, and just figuring things out. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all we go at the clients pace, with tools that actually make sense for their life. I have also lead and managed therapist communities. At TheraPeers (MindPeers), I led a community of 400+ therapists - organising trainings and onboarding trainers, managing sessions, reaching out to potential clients, marketing and content and making sure people felt connected, not just logged in. How I work: I blend talking with practical strategies often using CBT, ACT,SFBT, parts of DBT and mindfulness - always through a trauma-informed lens. My goal isn’t to “fix” the client, but to help them understand themselves better and find their own way forward. In community building: I focus on creating structured yet welcoming spaces where professionals can connect, learn, and grow. Whether designing workshops, coordinating trainers, or facilitating discussions, I prioritize clarity, accessibility, and genuine engagement. In program leadership: I believe good systems support good care. I build practical frameworks for scheduling, communications, feedback, and outreach that keep programs running smoothly so that the focus stays on people, not paperwork. Why I do this: Because healing happens in safe spaces - whether that’s in a therapy room or in a supportive community. I’m here to help build both. Let’s talk if you're into mental health, community building, therapist development, or just want to chat about making mental health support more human and accessible.
