Psychiatric medicine with a psychotherapy perspective
Dr. Sridhar’s work combines psychopharmacology—the careful use of psychiatric medication—with psychotherapy and practical recovery planning. His aim is to help each person understand the concern, compare suitable options and take part in decisions about care.
Before specialising in psychiatry, he worked in disability and community rehabilitation in Australia. That experience strengthened his interest in the everyday realities of mental health: relationships, independence, culture, family support, work and quality of life.

Academic programs and psychotherapy training
“Each person is unique, and each problem needs to be approached from a distinct viewpoint.”
Psychotherapy approach
His core therapy experience includes cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for depression, anxiety disorders and OCD, along with DBT-informed, interpersonal, relational and marital therapy approaches. The method is selected around the person’s needs rather than used as a fixed package.
Ongoing learning and public education
Dr. Sridhar participates in academic programs and public mental-health discussions. He has delivered talks for professional, educational and community audiences, with a focus on practical understanding and reducing stigma.
The Like Minds philosophy
The clinic is intended to be supportive and non-judgmental. Assessment considers biological, psychological, social and cultural factors together. Family participation is welcomed when it is useful, appropriate and agreed with the person receiving care.
