Soutomi Kundu proudly joined Therapy Hub in July 2017 and stayed up until her passing in December 2022. Soutomi died by suicide after an extensive and difficult battle with mental health, major depressive disorder and borderline personality disorder. She worked tirelessly to overcome her challenges and find ways to help curb the psychological pain that she experienced. Soutomi always put others, especially her clients, before herself. She was extremely passionate about her work and loved helping those around her.

Originally from India, but grown up in Botswana, Soutomi obtained her honors degree in occupational Therapy (OT) from the University of Pretoria in South Africa. Before moving to Vancouver in 2009, she supported the community of Gaborone, Botswana working in a hospital OT outpatient clinic for two years. Soutomi always enjoyed interacting with children and had a passion for helping other thus focusing her experience by working with children living with various physical, developmental and sensory difficulties. Soutomi, was an insightful and passionate therapist. She strived to provide evidence-based clinical services based on functional goals that were meaningful to the client and the family. She had the opportunity to work in a pediatric acute care hospital, school-aged therapy team and pediatric rehab center within Vancouver and the Lower mainland.

Outside of work, Soutomi enjoyed volunteering, exploring the great outdoors, yoga, painting, dancing, exploring culinary flavours and travelling. She will be deeply missed and never forgotten. She will remain a part of Therapy Hub in spirit for many years to come.

Soutomi valued honesty and was very open with many about her challenges with mental health. In order to help break the stigma and lack of understanding, she valued those that shared their struggles and was honest about her own. Her family living in the USA is carrying her torch of mental health awareness and advocating for greater access to mental health support in her loving memory. In Canada, if you or anyone you know is struggling, Therapy Hub is a safe place to express these difficulties.
