My Story

​

Before becoming a psychologist, my journey began in a different world—I studied Chemistry and held a steady job. But life had other plans. Through years of travel, personal challenges, and confronting the deeper questions of existence, I encountered emotional turbulence that reshaped my understanding of the human experience. These experiences didn’t break me—they revealed my purpose. I realized I was meant to guide others through their own storms with empathy, clarity, and strength. That’s when I chose to begin my journey in Psychology—not just as a subject, but as a calling. Today, I bring both lived experience and professional training into my therapeutic work, offering clients a grounded, non-judgmental space to heal, grow, and reclaim their lives.

 

A Safe, Grounded Presence in Times of Inner Turmoil

​

When life begins to feel heavy—when thoughts spiral, relationships strain, or the past refuses to stay in the past—you don’t need advice. You need understanding. You need someone who can sit with the discomfort, the questions, the silence—and help you gently find your way through.

I’m Soumyadeep Koley, a trauma-informed psychologist and certified clinical hypnotherapist with nearly a decade of experience supporting people through some of their most pivotal life transitions. I hold a firm belief that healing is not a destination—it’s a process of coming home to yourself.

My Approach

​

What makes therapy meaningful is not a checklist of techniques—but the relationship, the attunement, the shared space where healing can unfold at your pace. I bring a grounded, non-judgmental presence into every session, guided by evidence-based methods, but led by you—your story, your readiness, your truth.

​

I integrate tools from:

• Trauma-Focused Therapy

• Clinical Hypnotherapy

• Strategic Life Coaching for Confidence & Goal Setting

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

• Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)

• Mindfulness and Somatic Practices

​

My work is anchored in a salutological, attachment-sensitive framework that emphasizes emotional safety, consent, and deep respect for the client’s experience.
