Ashly Joshy

Ashly Joshy is a psychotherapist at Softmind, offering psychotherapy and relationship counselling in Kochi and Aroor. She holds a Master of Social Work from the Bhopal School of Social Sciences, with additional certificates in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness.

Her experience includes working with adolescents, couples, older adults and families through individual sessions, group work and family interventions. She gives attention to how personal experiences, relationships and social circumstances influence emotional difficulties and everyday functioning.

Her work supports people experiencing relationship conflict, self-esteem concerns and difficulties with emotional regulation. For adolescents and families, sessions may also explore communication, expectations and recurring patterns of interaction.

Her therapeutic approach is person-centred and adaptable, drawing on CBT, ACT, DBT skills, psychodynamic perspectives and mindfulness. Sessions combine reflection with practical work, helping people clarify what matters to them and explore changes relevant to daily life.

Alongside her practice, Ashly has engaged in research on psychosocial experiences and mental health, including research publications and presentations at national conferences.
