Hi, I’m Ishana Abdul Rasheed
Founder of MindSpace (“Take a Pause”), a Maldives-based virtual clinic dedicated to mental health and emotional well-being.

MindSpace was born from a vision that goes beyond qualifications or career milestones.
It was created from years of witnessing pain that lives deep inside the body—pain that is often invisible, dismissed, or silenced.

I am a licensed Psychologist with extensive experience supporting individuals diagnosed with:

• ADHD / ADD

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

• Learning Difficulties

• Intellectual Challenges

I’ve worked closely with children whose experiences were often misunderstood—especially those who felt unseen in systems never designed with them in mind.

I have also supported clients who carry:

• Depression and anxiety that silence the spirit

• Childhood trauma that never found words

• Sexual abuse that distorted their sense of safety

• Relational wounds that echo quietly in the nervous system

My academic path includes an MPhil in Psychology from JAIN (Deemed-to-be) University, an MSc in Clinical Psychology from CMR University, and I am currently pursuing my PhD in Psychology at JAIN (Deemed-to-be) University.
