Tina Balachandran

Tina is a licensed clinical psychologist with over 18 years of experience across clinical, aviation, and organisational settings. As a Certified Complex Trauma Professional, she uses an integrative strength-based approach to work with adults dealing with trauma and consults with organisations following critical incidents. She also works with couples, helping them learn how to replace negative conflict patterns with positive interactions, repair past hurts, and begin creating a shared meaning and purpose in their relationship.

As the first Certified Aviation Psychologist in Qatar, she was instrumental in setting up the psychology clinic within the medical division of the national airline. She provides psychological fitness for duty assessments and psychotherapy for professionals in safety-sensitive and safety-critical job roles across a diverse global workforce.

Her vision to create a safe space for those dealing with mental health challenges and improve access to therapeutic care carved a path towards the start of Flourishing Minds Clinic, a community care outpatient clinic to support those dealing with emotional, behavioural, and psychological concerns.

Tina remains connected to the corporate world as she is passionate about creating psychologically healthy and safe environments and is an active affiliate for Employee Assistance Program (EAP) service providers. She is also an on-call disaster mental health response specialist for a world-leading disaster management organisation.
