Welcome to Mind Atlas

Mind Atlas is a platform for bold and honest conversations about the mind, power, identity and society.

Empowering you to heal, to reconnect with yourself and others in a broken world.

Dr. Mehdi Alemohammad is a HCPC registered and BPS Chartered Principal Forensic Psychologist, Europe Accredited EMDR Practitioner and a Schema Therapist.

We live in a world unraveling, where we’re severed from our emotions, our roots, our communities and each other. No wonder many of us feel emotionally unwell and chronically lonely.

Systems that were once designed to protect us are silencing, controlling, pathologising and oppressing us. We are expected to fit into impossible narrow norms that are not based on what we need, but rather what is profitable.

As a queer Iranian immigrant and a Forensic Psychologist, I’ve seen how injustice, oppression and systemic violence fracture lives. I know what it’s like to get oppressed into impossible standards and norms and ways of being. And how healing begins when we speak boldly, connect deeply and confront what harms us.

Mind Atlas was born from that belief: that psychology must become a tool for resistance. We use it to challenge capitalism, colonialism, and the myths they’ve sold us about what it means to be whole. Whether through therapy, public discourse, or community events, we create spaces where nuance is valued, discomfort is honored, and collective healing becomes possible.

  • “ helping me understand myself ”

    One of the most authentic relationship I've ever had. Mehdi took so much time and care in helping me understand myself, my patterns of thinking and my core beliefs. His guidance and compassion helped me through the deep personal traumas that held me back for so long. I will forever be grateful for this.

  • “ I now manage my anger, anxiety and toxic family members better than I ever thought possible.”

    Mehdi supported me through some of the toughest times in my life, teaching me how to step back, reflect, set boundaries, and stick to them. He has the kindness and patience I needed in a therapist but had spent a decade searching for. Together, we untangled a lifetime of my responding to everything with fight-or-flight mode and addressed the traumas that caused me to react that way. I now have a better understanding of the impact generational trauma can have, as well as the coping mechanisms I had developed to manage it. I was also able to discover healthier coping strategies, which led to a much better quality of life. Thanks to Mehdi, I now manage my anger, anxiety and toxic family members better than I ever thought possible. A special mention also for the EMDR therapy that we did together, which entirely reframed how I think about some of my most traumatic memories. A truly groundbreaking experience.

  • " Curious, compassionate and professional "

    In my experience, some of the best therapists are the ones that challenge your thoughts about yourself and the world. In a short space of time engaging in schema therapy, Mehdi helped me disengage from harmful views and patterns that were holding me back. Curious, compassionate and professional, he takes time to get to know all aspects of you so that therapy is really tailored to your individual needs - meaning you get the specific help you need for your specific cirumstances. I literally thought my case was too niche to be helped, but Mehdi showed me that even I could at last find some peace. Mehdi - thank you for everything!

  • " The methods applied were clearly grounded in academic research "

    More so than in previous encounters with mental health professionals, sessions with Mehdi gave me a clear awareness of malign behavioural patterns as well as their underlying causes. I felt Mehdi offered the clear guidance that I needed, and knew when to challenge me, whilst remaining compassionate at all times. The methods applied were clearly grounded in academic research - something I am naturally drawn towards - but at the same time I have learned to listen much more carefully to my feelings and physical sensations.

  • " He provided a safe, supportive space where I felt comfortable "

    Working with Mehdi has been truly transformative. He provided a safe, supportive space where I felt comfortable opening up about both personal and professional challenges. His insightful techniques helped me uncover and work through childhood trauma that I hadn’t realised was still affecting my daily life. Most importantly, he guided me in recognising patterns and equipped me with the tools to navigate difficult situations with clarity and confidence. I’m incredibly grateful for his expertise and compassionate approach.

  • " Mehdi was extremely supportive and made me feel comfortable throughout. "

    Accessing EMDR with Mehdi was an incredibly positive experience. As a therapist myself, I felt a bit uncertain about being on the other side of the process, but Mehdi was extremely supportive and made me feel comfortable throughout. His skill and empathy made me feel safe, allowing me to work through some of the challenges experiencing. I'm really appreciative of all the support he has provided and 3 years on still recognise the changes. Thank you
