Keerthana Chandran is a psychologist at Softmind, providing psychological counselling in Kochi. She holds a master’s degree in Medical Psychology, with additional certifications in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness. She has also received training in neurofeedback and biofeedback.

Before joining Softmind, she worked for two years as a Psychological Research Work Analyst in Bangalore, gaining experience in research methodology, behavioural data analysis and clinical documentation. This background informs her attention to understanding concerns carefully and reviewing progress throughout therapy.

Her work supports people experiencing anxiety, emotional distress, burnout and adjustment difficulties. She considers how thoughts, emotions, bodily responses, relationships and everyday circumstances interact within each person’s experience.

Sessions combine attentive listening with practical, structured work. Depending on individual needs, this may involve recognising recurring patterns, developing emotional regulation skills, practising mindfulness or exploring different responses to difficult situations. Neurofeedback and biofeedback may be incorporated where appropriate, with their purpose discussed as part of the care plan.
