Soumi

Ms Soumi Biswas

Counseling Psychologist

“I am practicing counselling psychologist who listens & provides therapy with utmost empathy and emotional holding.”

About Me

I offer a calm, empathetic space where you can truly be heard. As a Counseling psychologist, I centre my approach on deep listening and emotional holding. This creates a secure foundation for our work together. If you are navigating difficult feelings or seeking clarity, I provide gentle support. We can explore your experiences without judgment, helping you find your way forward with confidence and understanding.

Approach

You’ll notice I hold a steady, patient attention that helps feelings slow down and make sense in the room. In Kolkata or online, in Bengali, Hindi/Urdu or English, sessions move at a gentle pace: we name sensations, try small experiments or enactments when words feel thin, and I offer concise reflections to carry you between meetings. This practical, contained rhythm supports exploration across life stages—adolescents to elders—and tends to suit people seeking clarity, steadiness and kinder self-understanding.
