You will be part of a multidisciplinary practice specialising in Orofacial Pain, Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs) and Dental Sleep Medicine, working alongside a OFP-trained dentist, psychologist and physiotherapist.

Clinical Psychologists with recognised training in MBSR or MBCT are also encouraged to apply, particularly those with experience in chronic pain management.

Key Responsibilities

- Help patients develop effective strategies for managing persistent pain, stress and pain-related emotional distress.
- Develop individualised mindfulness-based programmes and home-practice routines.
- Conduct individual sessions and, where appropriate, small-group programmes.
- Monitor patient progress and maintain appropriate clinical documentation.
- Coordinate treatment goals with the specialist, physiotherapist and other healthcare professionals.

Essential Qualifications & Experience

- Recognised, verifiable training in MBSR or MBCT, appropriate to the interventions being delivered.
- Practical experience delivering structured mindfulness-based interventions.
- Experience working with patients experiencing chronic pain, persistent physical symptoms or long-term health conditions.




- Understanding of the biopsychosocial aspects of chronic pain.
- Ability to conduct individual sessions independently.

Preferred Qualifications & Skills

- Qualification in Clinical Psychology, counselling, psychotherapy or another relevant healthcare discipline.
- RCI registration for applicants practising as Clinical Psychologists.
- Additional training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), particularly CBT for chronic pain.
- Experience with orofacial pain, TMDs, chronic headaches or musculoskeletal pain.
- Familiarity with pain neuroscience and trauma-sensitive mindfulness practices.
- Experience working in multidisciplinary clinical settings.

Working Arrangement

This is a part-time, visiting consultant position with adaptable, appointment-based scheduling in Bengaluru. Remuneration will be calculated per completed patient session, based on qualifications and relevant clinical experience.

The practice is newly establishing its multidisciplinary Orofacial Pain and TMD services in Bengaluru, with patient appointments expected to increase as the practice develops.

How to Apply

Please submit your CV along with details of your MBSR/MBCT training or certification and relevant experience working with chronic pain patients.

Clinical Psychologists trained in MBSR or MBCT are welcome to apply. Applicants with additional CBT expertise in chronic pain management will be given preference.
