In the circle of support, healing begins
A Note From The Founder
Aashna Chhawchharia
- Psychotherapist -
Mental health advocacy has long been a driving force in my life, rooted in personal observations of loved ones and other community members navigating mental health challenges. Seeing the lack of accessible resources and the stigma around seeking professional help, I realised we urgently needed more mental health awareness and better support systems in place. Motivated by this realisation, I dedicated myself to the study of Psychology, seeing it as a pathway to effecting meaningful change in the lives of others.
Upon completing my education, I embarked on the journey of becoming a trained psychotherapist, where through firsthand experience, I witnessed the transformative power that genuine connections and alliances play in facilitating clients' progress towards their therapeutic objectives.
It was this fundamental insight that inspired the creation of Inner Circle. The name itself embodies the essence of a supportive network, where mutual reliance fosters encouragement, understanding and empowerment. This intentional decision emphasizes the significance of fostering supportive relationships within therapeutic context. I envisioned Inner Circle as a sanctuary where warmth, empathy and a steadfast commitment to nurturing a positive mental health experience converge.
My aspiration for Inner Circle is to cultivate an environment where therapy transcends mere treatment, evolving into a holistic journey characterised by compassion, empowerment and sustained growth. Through our platform, I aim to redefine the mental health landscape, one built upon a foundation of authentic connections and unwavering support.
At Inner Circle, our mission is to provide a safe, confidential and nurturing space for individuals to embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing and growth. We are dedicated to offering top quality and accessible mental health resources, with a focus on fostering genuine connections, trust and empathy, to empower our community to prioritise their mental well-being, where the connection between clients and therapists is at the heart of transformative healing and growth.
Mission
Our vision is to be a trusted platform where the Inner Circle community feels safe, supported, and inspired to explore the depths of their mental health. We envision a world where individuals, irrespective of background or circumstance, embrace their inner strengths, break free from stigma, and thrive in a community that understands and uplifts one another without fear or judgement. Through Inner Circle, we envision a future where seeking help and support for mental well-being is a natural and accepted part of daily life.
