Welcome to Saamya Counselling
Saamya (साम्य) (n): Equanimity; a calm and balanced state of mind.
The mind is like a lake - at rest, calm and balanced.
The challenges of our daily lives and the impressions of our past act like rocks that cause ripples in the lake and negatively affect this balanced state; at times, making it seem impossible to recover.
Just like the lake though, it’s our very nature to seek rest, restore balance and find equanimity. At Saamya, our purpose is to help you feel enabled to embrace your unique experiences as something to build upon and find the balance, once again.
We wish you the best in your journey.
Our Services

Grief & Loss Counselling
Grief is an overwhelming feeling that follows the loss of a loved one, a relationship or something else that's a significant part of one's existence.
At times, the grief gets complicated and disenfranchised which is experienced privately, such as loss of a pregnancy or a relationship that others did not know about.
When you are grieving, you tend to shut yourself and feel isolated. At Saamya, through an eclectic approach, we help you accept and process your loss and sit with you while you grieve.
We help you find your strength to heal yourself, connect with your sense of loss in a meaningful way and live your life with a new purpose.
-
Depression & Anxiety Counselling
If you have been feeling down or overwhelmed for more than a couple of weeks, you may be experiencing depression. There are many reasons depression can occur. However, at times, you may feel disconnected and isolated from your environment for no apparent reason at all.
As a result, you may be experiencing disruption in your sleep cycle, fatigue, change in appetite, social withdrawal or substance abuse.
At Saamya, we understand that depression and anxiety can seriously affect with your sense of self and motivation in general. We help you understand the root cause and find ways to deal with your depression and anxiety so you can move towards healing.
-
Abuse & Trauma Counselling
Abuse and trauma can come in many different forms. At times, it is hard to clearly identify each form as they tend to overlap.
Abuse can be physical, emotional and / or psychological. Whereas physical abuse can be seen, it is harder to acknowledge and comprehend others. These experiences are often confusing, shocking and embarrassing. They can have severe short and long-term effects resulting in trauma.
At Saamya, we understand that working through abuse and trauma is a highly individual and personal experience. We help you feel safe in an empathetic and non-judgmental environment and sit with you while you process your trauma, work on it and heal.

Stand-Alone Counselling
There are times when you may not be seeking ongoing therapy but simply need a safe, supportive space to talk things through. A stand-alone session offers you that opportunity — a single, focused meeting designed to help you explore what’s happening in your life right now, gain clarity, and receive gentle guidance or practical tools you can take with you.
Whether you’re navigating a specific challenge, making an important decision, or simply wanting to reconnect with yourself, this one-off session provides a moment to pause, reflect, and be truly heard. It’s a space where your thoughts and feelings are welcomed without judgment.
Even a single conversation can make a meaningful difference.
Healing with us…
At Saamya, we take a holistic approach to mental health. We use a combination of evidence based practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in conjunction with intuitive, mindful practices.
In this approach, we work with you to enhance the psychological flexibility so you can accept the challenges you are facing and commit to the behaviour that is more consistent with your own values.
In practing Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), we help you with techniques to stay focused on the present moment and accept thoughts and feelings instead of dwelling in the past or trying to control things to be in a certain way.
