Meril Joseph

I am an Applied Psychology postgraduate from Middlesex University Dubai and am currently training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also bring over 10 years of professional experience in banking and technology, including working with HSBC across London and Dubai. My background as an application developer helped me develop strong analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and the capacity to work effectively in high-responsibility environments. Over time, personal experiences and a period of reflection motivated me to transition into psychology as a more meaningful long-term career path. During my postgraduate studies, I gained experience in both quantitative and qualitative research, as well as training in counselling approaches, trauma psychology, and case formulation. These experiences strengthened my interest in understanding human behaviour and supporting mental well-being in practical settings. I am currently seeking volunteer or internship opportunities in Dubai to gain supervised clinical exposure, contribute meaningfully to mental health services, and continue developing my practical counselling and therapeutic skills.
