Types of Therapies we offer

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment approach that helps individuals understand and change their thought patterns and behaviors. By focusing on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, CBT empowers individuals to develop healthier coping mechanisms and achieve lasting improvements in their mental well-being. It is particularly beneficial for addressing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and stress. Our qualified therapists are dedicated to guiding you through this transformative process with empathy and expertise, helping you build a brighter, more balanced future.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help individuals manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Originally developed for treating borderline personality disorder, DBT has proven effective for a variety of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to enhance emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and acceptance. Our experienced therapists provide a supportive and structured environment, guiding you towards emotional stability, healthier relationships, and overall well-being.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy is a deep and insightful approach to mental health treatment that focuses on understanding the underlying, often unconscious, factors that influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This therapy delves into past experiences, unresolved conflicts, and significant relationships to uncover patterns that may be impacting current life. By bringing these hidden dynamics to light, psychodynamic therapy helps individuals gain self-awareness and insight, leading to meaningful and lasting emotional growth. Our experienced therapists provide a supportive and empathetic environment, guiding you on a journey of self-discovery and healing, empowering you to live a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP)

Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) is an intensive and structured therapeutic approach designed to help individuals with personality disorders, particularly borderline personality disorder. TFP focuses on understanding and working through the complex emotions and patterns that arise in the therapeutic relationship, known as transference. By exploring these dynamics, individuals gain insight into their internal world and relationships, leading to profound personal growth and change. Our skilled therapists provide a safe and supportive environment, guiding you through this transformative process to foster emotional stability, healthier relationships, and a deeper understanding of yourself.

Existential Psychotherapy

Existential Psychotherapy is a profound and philosophical approach to mental health treatment that explores the fundamental questions of human existence. This therapy focuses on themes such as meaning, freedom, responsibility, and the human condition. By addressing existential concerns like life’s purpose, personal values, and the inevitability of death, individuals gain deeper self-awareness and clarity. Existential psychotherapy encourages clients to confront and embrace life’s uncertainties and challenges, fostering a sense of authenticity and fulfillment. Our compassionate therapists provide a supportive environment to explore these existential themes, guiding you towards a more meaningful and enriched life experience.

Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT)

Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT) is a contemporary approach to couple therapy that emphasizes both acceptance and change within the relationship. Developed by Andrew Christensen and Neil S. Jacobson, IBCT integrates techniques from traditional behavioral couple therapy with strategies to foster emotional acceptance. This therapy helps couples gain a deeper understanding of each other’s emotions and promotes greater intimacy and conflict resolution. By focusing on emotional acceptance, IBCT facilitates more meaningful and lasting changes, helping couples navigate their differences and build a stronger, more resilient relationship

How beneficial is online therapy?

It is a very genuine question. Several studies and even our practice has time and again has proven that the online therapy is as effective as offline therapy.

How and what happens in the first session at Joyful Psych?

It is a doubt there for anyone who seeks therapy for the first time and it is very necessary to address it. First, you will be going through our informed consent to orient about the conditions of the therapeutic sessions. You will be booking a slot in advance by paying the required fees either through Gpay or any other online payment service. You can also pay directly if you visit our clinic directly. Then the clinic provides a confirmed slot after receipt of payment. When the session happens on the day therapist will first introduce himself and right after that through a casual conversation, he will be trying to know more about you. later when you feel it’s a safe and confidential space you will slowly start to discuss the challenges you are facing or what has brought you to the session. That is all for now let us see at the session to know more.

Who are the right and best psychologist to consult for mental health issues.

For normal daily life problems, a psychologist (have a master’s degree) would be fine. But when it comes to diagnosable mental health concerns, it is best to consult a licensed Clinical Psychologist (have an MPhil in Clinical Psychology and RCI registration as a “Clinical Psychologist”) from a government body: the RCI=Rehabiliation Council of India. They are the only psychologist professionals in the country who have the permission to manage mental health concerns according to experience, expertise, and the law of the land.

Is therapy with Joyful psych confidential and private?

Yes, we have a moral and legal duty to keep your data secure and confidential. Only in exceptional cases where we will be breaching it when a court orders us or when we thoroughly understand that you are a danger to you or others. It is the same with all Psychologists, Clinical psychologists and Psychiatrists in India and even around the world. So no difference here.

Where I can find the best Malayalam counselors or therapists in Kerala?

If you are looking for a qualified and licenced psychologist then Joyful Psych online counseling is the right place. we have one of the best psychologists in Kochi, Kerala who provides online as well as in-person consultations.

How much does it cost to see a Psychologist in Kochi, Kerala?

It normally costs 1200₹ to 3000₹ on average to see a qualified Clinical Psychologist in Kerala. Joyful Psych is a leading online counselling platform where you can get quality care from one of the best psychologists in the country for an affordable rate of 1200₹. Ye,s we are human at heart.

You can even find therapists (even some psychologists, who are not even clinical psychologist) who charge 5000₹ to 10000₹ per session, which is very high and unaffordable for a large sect of society. The high price does not determine the quality of a session. Just like the costly coffee at a premium restaurant wont always taste good. sometimes a 10₹ coffee tastes much better than your luxury 500₹ coffee. Always keep that in mind and we wish you get care from the most qualified hands that too without emptying your pockets. We are here for a reason.

Yes, I am just being straightforward and honest. Avoid any therapist who charges above 5000₹ per session. It is simply not worth it and psychotherapy is a passionate endeavour. IT IS NOT A BUSINESS!

Why should I take online counselling?

If travelling to see a therapist is difficult for you.
You don’t have access to a good therapist nearby.
You want to save the travel expenses and time of commuting to a therapist.
You are tight on time.
You have privacy issues and would not want others to spot you in a therapy centre.
You are not comfortable speaking face to face.
You are too ill to move out of the house.

If any of the above points are you, then online therapy will be a good starting point.

Who is Joyson of Joyful Psych?

Common doubt. Joyson is the founder of the movement Joyful Psych. He is a Govt Licensed Clinical Psychologist with experience ranging from Indian Naval Hospital, Kochi, to NIMHANS, Bangalore and more, conducting research as well as providing therapy and healing to those who are suffering. He completed his super specialisation in Clinical Psychology (MPhil) from the premier RINPAS, Ranchi.
