Dr Meenakshy Venugopal

I’m an Ayurvedic doctor doing my masters in psychology (final year). My transition from Ayurveda to psychology was quite organic. While studying and practicing in a medical context, I realized that many health concerns were closely linked to a person’s mental and emotional state. I found myself more drawn to understanding people’s thoughts, behaviors, and communication patterns rather than just physical symptoms. That curiosity led me to formally pursue psychology, where I’ve been building a strong foundation through my MA and practical training in counselling. I have been volunteering as a crisis counsellor with a suicide prevention organization since January of 2026 and have been giving pro bono sessions. I also hold a pg diploma in psychological counselling from symbiosis
