Shamshi Mubarak
Shamshi Mubarak, Founder and Chief Psychologist at Mindleo Clinic, is a passionate and dedicated Consultant Psychologist with years of clinical experience in the field of psychology. Throughout her journey, her heart has always been focused on creating positive, lasting changes in the lives of those who walk through her clinic doors. She is proud to say that Mindleo Clinic, which she founded, is a dream come true—one where she combines traditional psychotherapy with integrated and alternative therapies to offer clients the most holistic and effective healing experience possible.
Her love for psychology is vast and deep. Shamshi has always been fascinated by the human mind and how it works. Over the years, she has delved into research and studied countless methods to help people deal with mental struggles in a more meaningful way. She has realized that mental issues isn’t just about talking through problems—it’s about addressing the root causes of those problems, healing the mind and body together, and offering quick and effective relief from distress.
Mindleo Clinic stands as Kerala’s first psychologist-led clinic integrating alternative therapies with traditional psychotherapy. Through her years of clinical experience, Shamshi has seen how these combined therapies create a powerful and lasting impact, especially for those who feel stuck or hopeless in their journey toward healing. As a member of the American Psychological Association, and one of the only four professionals in India trained in Cognitive Behavioral Hypnotherapy (CBT & Hypnotherapy) through the NCFC-UK, she has always aimed to blend the best of traditional and alternative therapies to create something unique, practical, and effective.
One of the main reasons she chose this path was her belief that prevention is always better than cure. Over the years, Shamshi has observed that many individuals understand their issues, but not everyone can seek therapy due to financial constraints, lack of time, or simply because they don’t know where to begin. Unfortunately, when mental struggles are left unaddressed, they can worsen, impacting not just our emotional state but our physical well-being as well. The mind-body connection is so powerful, and that’s why she believes integrated therapies are essential to overall healing.
Shamshi has spent years researching and discovering alternative therapies that complement psychotherapy. It’s clear to her that therapy isn’t just about talking—it’s about addressing the underlying emotional wounds, helping people heal from the inside out. Some of the therapies incorporated at Mindleo include:
* Yoga & Mindfulness Practices
* Meridian Therapy
* Family Constellation Therapy
* Colour Therapy
* Music Therapy
* RTMS (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)
These therapies provide an essential support system for clients, helping them achieve mental and emotional balance, relieve stress, and heal from long-standing issues, especially those suffering from psychosomatic conditions, chronic pain, or trauma that medicine or psychotherapy alone couldn’t address. It’s incredibly moving to see someone who’s been in pain for years experience their first painless day, whether it’s mentally or physically—it’s worth every bit of effort.
What Shamshi has learned over the years is that every person deserves support, and that support should be easily accessible and non-judgmental. No one should hesitate to seek help for their mental care simply because of societal stigma or taboo. At Mindleo, they create a safe, welcoming space for clients to explore and heal—free from judgment and full of compassion.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Hypnotherapy are the cornerstones of Shamshi’s practice because they offer quick results and provide clients with tools to reframe negative thought patterns. CBT works on reshaping thought patterns and behaviors, which is incredibly helpful for short-term relief. On the other hand, hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for releasing deep-rooted emotional trauma, such as PTSD, childhood trauma, or long-standing fears. It’s a gentle yet effective approach to transforming negative emotions and breaking free from the triggers that hold us back.
One of the greatest joys of Shamshi’s career is watching clients leave her clinic with a smile on their face, feeling lighter, more hopeful, and empowered. Their trust in her and in the therapies provided has been the driving force behind her work. Every day, she is grateful for the opportunity to help people transform their lives. The fact that she can witness firsthand the impact these therapies have on her clients’ well-being makes all the hard work worthwhile.
To anyone reading this who might be struggling: Don’t wait. Take the first step toward healing. Mental well-being issues, no matter how big or small, deserve attention. And whether it's through traditional therapy or alternative therapies, you don’t have to go through it alone. At Mindleo, Shamshi is here to guide you on a journey toward healing and peace—a journey where life can be so much more wonderful, peaceful, and calm, free from negative triggers.
Shamshi is continually learning and exploring new therapies to expand her knowledge and offer even more options to her clients. She wants to bring as much relief and healing as possible to those who need it most. And for that, she is deeply thankful to each and every person who has trusted her with their mental well-being journey. Their courage inspires her every day.
