Our Story

How Muzhir Came to Be

Throughout our study of psychology, we’ve always felt very privileged to be presented with the information we needed to understand ourselves and deal with the world around us. We felt like it was our responsibility to relay the information we found in textbooks and academic papers to our community, and began to explain various psychology concepts to the people around us.

You see, learning about psychology gave us a fresh perspective through which we saw ourselves and the world around us, one that is built on decades of research and
theories. It didn’t make our issues disappear, but it equipped us to deal with them. our problems and make our lives rosy, but it helped. As we worked with people in psychotherapy, it became clear that it wasn’t just us – learning and understanding had an unprecedented impact on the lives of all kinds of people. It empowered people as agents of their own growth, and made change sustainable.

So, we decided to
accompany people as they learn how to create lasting change that would better their lives, according to their values. To do so, we craft intricate, community-based learning experiences that target psychology professionals, corporations and individuals.

After the first-ever training we conducted, to friends and family, we began asking ourselves how we could widen the impact of what we’ve learned. We noticed that, in our society, a lot of people shy away from the individualistic model of therapy; it’s often inaccessible and can seem really intimidating. A communal space where people flourish through mutual benefit, discussions and long-term reflection, however, is more palatable; it’s like a big friend group insistent on seeing you grow.

The therapy model is not the only reason people who need treatment don’t seek it; the world we live in can often be demanding, and many of us have no choice but to put everything – work, family, survival – before our own well-being. This is why we decided to reach people through their place of work, by collaborating with corporations to better the well-being of their employees, and the efficiency of their systems. It’s a two-birds-one-stone situation: organisations become more productive, and the people within them become more satisfied.

That being said, the clinic was never an inherently outdated space, and a lot of people feel more comfortable in one-on-one treatment settings. Change happens across many levels, and we try to get through on as many of them as we can. Through training psychology professionals, we aim to make an impact on people who make an impact on other people, extending the radius of betterment across our society.
