Grief & loss
What we grieve
We often associate the word grief only with death. We perhaps also recognise that people around us are grieving when there has been a loss of an individual to fate and to death.

We usually seek help when things get hard. And sometimes, very hard. But what if it didn’t have to be that way? I welcome you here, a place and a practice to help you work through what feels scattered, and to celebrate what feels okay.

About Ekāgrah
Center. Clarity. Wholeness.
We all carry fragmented thoughts and feelings: the broken, uneven circles. Ekāgrah is a space to bring them back into focus: the still point at the center, where things stop feeling so overwhelming.
Ekāgrah represents the journey of bringing a fragmented, scattered mind back to a state of center, clarity, and wholeness.

About me
I’m Saanchi Baid (she/her), the founder of ekāgrah- Psychological Health and Wellbeing. I practice as a Counselling Psychologist, but that’s really just one of the many roles I hold, and one that I hold with a lot of care, curiosity, and heart.
I’m currently in my sixth year of practice, and it has been quite a ride. I’ve had the joy of working with children, adolescents, and adults, in all sorts of different spaces and ways. It has been nothing short of fulfilling, and I continue to feel very lucky that this is the work I get to do.

I grew up in a Jain, Marwari family, which meant that being surrounded by people, and usually lots of them, was pretty much a given. I’ve also always loved stories. And you know how, in most families, there’s that one person who is known as “a great listener”? The one people come to when they need to talk, the one who somehow knows what’s going on with everyone, the one who “really understands”? Well, I was that person. And, if I’m being honest, I quite enjoyed the role.
By the time I was in undergrad, I knew one thing for sure: whatever I did, my work had to involve people. Maybe individually, maybe in groups, but I wanted to be able to be of some use to people in some way. Somewhere along the way, Counselling Psychology found its way into that picture, and somehow, it felt like the piece of the puzzle that had been missing all along. I haven’t regretted choosing it for a single day since.
Today, I work with individuals, small groups, and larger groups through therapy, group work, training, teaching, and spaces for learning and growth. If you’d like to know a little more about what I do and the different ways we can work together, click here.
And if you were to ask me what you’ll most likely find me doing when I’m not working, the answer is fairly simple: spending time with my people OR deeply enjoying the slowness of life.
I’ve come to believe that we are, in so many ways, nothing without someone witnessing our lives. There is so much growth, comfort, and healing that can happen simply through the presence of another person. I hope to carry that belief into my professional space too.
At the same time, one thing I’ve consciously worked on over the years is making room for myself, too- my own journey, interests, curiosities, and all the parts of me that exist outside of my work and my relationships with other people. It has been surprisingly rewarding to discover that there is, in fact, a whole person here beyond being a psychologist, a daughter, a friend, a therapist, a teacher, or whoever someone else needs me to be.
And I think I’m still getting to know her. Let me join you as you discover parts of yourself as well?

Learning from children
Children are great teachers
Sometimes I believe that children have so much to teach us, and we have so much to learn from them. Contrary to the popular idea that we are supposed to teach them how to live life.
