Hi, I am Saumya.

My approach to therapy is strongly defined by my stance as a feminist and principles of social justice. While the therapy space is all about the client, their problem may not be. Since we live in a world where existence is more difficult for some, we have to acknowledge caste, gender, class and living situations. By nature of it’s existence, therapy should be queer affirmative, caste sensitive and neurodivergence accommodative.

Hence, i try to utilize the tenets of psychodynamic theory, client centered therapy, existential approach, narrative thinking in my work.

I believe that the therapy room should hold enough safety for discomfort whilst also hosting a lot of joy, whimsy and humour.

When I’m not in the therapy room, you’ll find me with my nose in a book or consuming copious amounts of pop culture or going on a wikipedia binge. You’ll always hear me yapping about my dogs (i love them) or AI and and self help books (not a fan)

Indians - INR 1800

Foreign Residents - INR 2300

For queer and DBA folks or students, I offer a sliding scale between INR 1350-1700 also


Past Work:

My first job was at a school in jaipur where I started working with adolescents and developed a keen interest in working around trauma, self harm and identity. Since January 2023 I have been associated with The Coping Central as a counselling psychologist and have taken over 2000 sessions with adults on a plethora of concerns.
