WHAT IS MEHFOOZ?

Mehfooz is an Urdu word synonymous with safety, comfort, and dependability.

It reflects our aim to create a therapeutic space beyond the societal restrictions placed on marginalised folx across caste, religion, sexual orientation, and gender.

We hope to expand upon the warmth and grounding that comes from truly feeling Mehfooz.

 

Our therapeutic approach is eclectic and intentionally customised to each person’s individual concerns. All therapists at Mehfooz Therapy are trained in multiple relevant modalities, allowing our work to grow around a trauma-informed, neurodivergence affirming, and queer-affirmative lens.

​

We hope for Mehfooz to be a welcoming space beyond individual therapy, through our Mehfooz Library, where we share blogs, poetry, and newsletters created by our mental health advocates in response to the lack of accessible resources.

​

Mehfooz Therapy also hosts events, support groups, group therapy sessions, case discussions, therapist supervision, and other meaningful opportunities for collective learning and self-understanding.
