Merle Coutinho

I am a Behavioural Psychologist ( MSc in counselling & family therapy) focused on helping individuals navigate the complexities of mental health. Whether it is a professional burnout, chronic anxiety or severe depressive episodes and mental health crises, including suicidal ideation, my approach is tailored to the individual's unique journey, offering an eclectic approach. Being a homoeopathic doctor(BHMS, Mum), I have a medical background, and the mind-brain-body correlation is easy to incorporate in my clinical understanding. Being an art therapist (dip. in art therapy) has enhanced my non-conventional counselling techniques, which I use to create a safe and non-judgmental space for the client. I follow a compassionate, empathetic, genuine and behaviour-focused client approach.
