We are here to Listen
At Transcend, we believe, every individual is unique - mind, body, spirit and so are their life journeys, thus there is no effective one size fits all method to support an individual. We therefore listen to each of our clients with genuine attunement using a person centric and relational approach in a confidential safe space, and within a well informed integrative framework of therapy to facilitate tailor-made, customised interventions that suit our client's distinct pace and needs.
At Transcend, we reckon, therapy is for anyone and everyone - people who acknowledge the pain that is endured while dodging the curve balls which life throws our way and are committed to evolve through the struggles. So long as we have thoughts, feelings, and experiences, we can always avail a holding space to process these together with a qualified therapist to harness the innate human capacity to transcend, towards a more intentional and fulfilling way of being ourselves!

Merlyn Joseph
Counsellor | Psychotherapist
Merlyn is a trauma informed practitioner, she uses an integrative and holistic approach to therapy that encapsulates the mind, body and spirit, underpinning a person centric, relational and analytical foundation. She effectively integrates various therapies like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Psychodynamic/ Psychoanalytic, Transactional Analysis etc. to guide her clients through their unique inter and intrapersonal world of conscious as well as unconscious processes, that mostly underlie their concerns.
Merlyn's prior education has been in Mathematics and Finance. She worked as an Analyst in Investment and Finance functions based in India and Singapore. She initially started studying Psychology to help her family adapt to the changes and limitations that a medical illness had bought in. It was both, the family's rewarding experience and the witnessing of constructive changes that unfolded while she worked with her clients as an intern, that gave her the impetus to carry on her studies and practice. Today having gained extensive knowledge and credible expertise, she dedicatedly holds space to journey with her clients in their commitment to evolve through their troubles. Merlyn is equipped to facilitate therapy in both individual and group therapy settings to clients across all life stages and for various psychological and situational troubles.
Merlyn acknowledges that while going through difficult times it takes courage to reach out to someone who is a stranger. She holds unconditional regard and respect for her clients who take that first bold step, facilitating care in a confidential and non-judgemental environment that is sensitive to multicultural nuances. She currently caters to clients who wish to work through their issues online via Zoom. She prefers to maintain a small - niche practice, taking in only a few clients at a time. You are therefore requested to book ahead to be able to block slots that are most convenient to you.

Talk is essentially what we do. The presence of a professional therapist however distinguishes the therapy space, making it a non judgemental safe space, bound by ethics and confidentiality. The dialogues and the therapeutic alliance that ensues between the client and therapist being based in the art and science of psychological therapies, hold the potential to facilitate healing, change and growth.

We all have our circles — childhood friends, work friends, hobby friends — people we lean on when life feels heavy or confusing. Being with peers often makes things easier.
But what if there could also be a space for therapy friends — a group of people who meet not just to share, but to reflect, understand, and grow together?
If you’ve ever wished to connect with others who may also be navigating life’s challenges—to pause and reflect, to feel supported and nudged just enough, to grow at your own pace, then this might be that space.
Each Group is conducted by a Group Conductor — a therapist trained over years in creating and holding such reflective spaces. Thoughtfully structured and curated with care, each group is designed with you and your needs in mind, offering two broad formats:
Being together in this way, and over time, as we learn from one another, our awareness and understanding can deepen — allowing insights and change to unfold, fostering authenticity, enabling growth where we once felt stuck, and bringing greater fulfilment to the many roles we play, at work and in life.

Please note, online therapy is not appropriate for crisis support. Hence as per the company policy our services do not cater to any psychological or medical emergencies which include but are not limited to crisis situations like, when an individual is experiencing thoughts, of harm to self/other, suicide or experiencing severe clinical disorders.
In all such cases we urge the individual to immediately contact the suicide/crisis hotline in their country of residence or the nearest hospital's accident and emergency services.
