THE ZARF COLLECTIVE
A professional ecosystem for mental health practitioners
The Zarf Collective is a learning, supervision, and community space for mental health professionals who want to practice ethically, sustainably, and in ways that actually reflect their values.
Built by practitioners, for practitioners, TZC exists to support therapists beyond theory, into real-world practice, identity, confidence, and longevity in the field.
Community over Competition!

WHY THE ZARF COLLECTIVE EXISTS
Many mental health professionals are trained to sit with complexity, but not taught how to sustain themselves within it.
-
Private practice can be isolating.
-
Supervision can feel limited or inaccessible.
-
Training often feels disconnected from lived realities.
-
And the pressure to “figure it out alone” is quietly exhausting.
The Zarf Collective was created to respond to these gaps—with depth, integrity, and community at the centre.
WHO THIS SPACE IS FOR
Psychologists, Counsellors,
and Therapists
Early-career and Experienced Practitioners
Professionals navigating private practice, organizations or transitions
Mental health Workers seeking supervision, mentorship, or skill-building
Practitioners who value ethics, reflection, and relational work
If you’re looking for growth without hustle culture, this space is for you.
WHAT WE OFFER
Individual and group supervision spaces that are reflective, trauma-informed, and rooted in real clinical work. Supervision here is about thinking together—not being evaluated.
Short-term and long-form learning spaces on therapy practice, alternative modalities, ethics, and building sustainable careers. These trainings are grounded in lived experience, not just manuals.
Mentorship for practitioners navigating identity, confidence, boundaries, visibility, and career decisions. This work supports you as both a professional and a person.
Curated community spaces for mental health professionals to connect, reflect, and build networks without forced networking or hierarchy.
We offer access to practice-support services designed specifically for mental health professionals, including guidance and referrals for:
-
Registering and structuring a private practice
-
Legally vetted documentation and contracts
-
Finance and tax-related support relevant to therapists
-
Practice management tools and software recommendations
-
Branding, visibility, and ethical marketing support
This support is offered with an understanding of clinical boundaries, confidentiality, and the unique pressures of mental health work.
HOW WE WORK
The Zarf Collective is shaped by the same values that guide Chaos to Cosmos:
-
Trauma-informed and anti-pathologising
-
Queer-affirmative and neurodivergence-affirming
-
Context-aware and socially conscious
-
Rooted in supervision, ethics, and consent
-
Community over competition
We believe good practitioners are made through reflection, support, and relationship—not pressure.
OFFICE HOURS FOR
MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
A reflective space for psychologists and mental health professionals to think through practice-building beyond clinical work.
These conversations support questions around private practice growth, money, legal clarity, ethical marketing, collaborations, and long-term direction. Sometimes the work is strategic. Sometimes it’s about perspective. Always grounded.
Office hours are for:
-
practicing psychologists and therapists
-
early-career and budding psychologists
-
MHPs exploring collaborations or ideas
-
professionals who want space to think aloud
Held every Wednesday, 10am–7pm.
All sessions are facilitated by our Founder, Mehr, with 8 years of experience in therapy, supervision, mentorship, and practice-building.
This is not therapy.
It’s a professional thinking space.
A NOTE ON ETHICS
All offerings under The Zarf Collective are designed and facilitated by trained professionals and practitioners working under supervision where applicable.
We do not promise shortcuts, certifications without substance, or “six-figure practice” fantasies.
What we offer instead is grounded growth, skill, and sustainability.
