Ms Saumya Vatsa

Counseling Psychologist

“A proficient, meticulous, queer affirmative counsellor. Uses an eclectic approach of client centered, DBT, CBT as per the needs of clients.”

About Me

Dedicated to providing queer affirmative support, this meticulous counsellor helps clients navigate personal challenges. They offer a carefully tailored approach, blending client-centred care with practical tools from CBT and DBT. This ensures sessions truly meet individual needs, fostering understanding and resilience. Clients seeking a thoughtful, adaptable space to explore their experiences will find a strong match here.

Approach

Proficiency and meticulous attention shape how I structure each session, keeping queer-affirming safety and practical focus central. From my Patna office or online in English or Hindi/Urdu, we work at a steady, collaborative pace—checking safety, naming patterns, and choosing a small, achievable shift to practice between meetings. Sessions blend empathic listening with targeted skills—emotion regulation, boundary experiments, and narrative work for grief, trauma or identity—paired with brief reflections to track change. People facing relationship pain, identity questions or loss often find this grounded, task-focused way of working helpful.
