We all know what to do when we are physically injured, but it is a bitter truth that we are so unaware about what to do when our mind gets hurt. We don't know how to handle our negative thoughts, our negative emotions like anger and depression, lack of self confidence, loneliness or criticism. Even high achievers and successful people are finding it hard to cope with stress.

It is proven that depression, anxiety & stress can affect our physical health. Stress affect our immune system and can amplify infections. It's time we give our mental health the importance that it deserves.

Our quality of life is largely affected by our mindset and attitude. And what we are today is molded by our genetics and our childhood experiences. Most of the things that are 'wrong' about us might have been learnt in our childhood. And yet, we make the same mistake with our kids,by imposing our own insecurities on to them.

Today, the widespread notion that guides the mental health arena is about breaking that cycle of generational trauma. The unconscious adaptations that we acquired to survive what happened in our life could be hindering our mental health in a lot of ways. For example, if we had learnt to survive our life by working too hard and perfectionism, today we might be struggling with self judgment when mistakes happen. Most of the arguments and stress could be arising from these trauma responses which go unresolved until and unless we take a good look at them. Most of the trauma focused approaches that have evolved in the last few decades have shed light on the therapeutic perspectives that could help us in resolving these issues.

One of the main problems that we face is about the relationship we have with emotions. Most of us are looking for "fixing" what we or others feel, instead of improving the relationship we have with those feelings. Universally, what we all want is to be seen and heard, not to be fixed. And therapy is all about just that, about helping ourselves to be able to make sure that all parts within us are being seen and heard by ourselves, to integrate those parts into our SELF.

Seen 'n heard Clinic stands for delivering that kind of trauma focused therapy to the general public. We provide awareness through our social media platforms and we provide trauma focused therapy services and several workshops that would help you so that all emotions within you could be seen and heard.

We wish to make counseling and therapy services more accessible to everyone so that the issues that we face could be approached from a psychological perspective. We assure a completely confidential approach and we are Queer Affirmative too.
