Naveen Thomas

Naveen is a Consultant Psychologist at Softmind, providing psychological counselling in Kochi, with a focus on adult mental health. He holds an MA in Clinical Psychology and a BA in Psychology and Criminology, with additional certificates in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT).

His experience includes supporting adults with complex psychological needs, individual and couples therapy, and care within structured mental health programmes. He also contributes to the supervision, mentoring and training of psychologists and trainees at Softmind.

His approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, with attention to each person’s experiences, relationships and present circumstances. He works with people navigating significant life changes, loss and persistent difficulties, including those who feel uncertain about how to move forward after previous therapy.

His therapeutic work combines psychological methods with a neuroscience-informed understanding of emotion, learning and brain–body interaction. He has received training in neurofeedback, biofeedback, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and audio-visual entrainment (AVE). Where appropriate, technology-assisted interventions may form part of a broader care plan, with their purpose and suitability discussed before use.

Sessions focus on understanding relevant patterns, developing practical skills and reviewing changes that matter to everyday life.
