Meet Sudhir

SB Counselling & Wellness Services | Ontario Registered Social Worker | Sudhir Basumatary

My mission is to provide a grounded, respectful, and supportive space where individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward with clarity and confidence.

I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) and an MBA in Human Resources, with professional experience spanning corporate, government, and non-profit sectors. I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) in Ontario and pursuing doctoral studies in Management at Case Western Reserve University, focused on sustainable systems, leadership, and applied professional practice.

As an immigrant, husband, parent, and community leader, I bring lived empathy, cultural awareness, and practical insight into the realities many individuals face today.

  • Lived Experience

    My personal journey includes early loss and financial hardship, navigating education with limited guidance and resources, building a career across international development, corporate leadership, and entrepreneurship, rebuilding professionally after immigrating to Canada, walking through personal and family health challenges, and serving individuals and families through pastoral and community leadership.

    These experiences shape a grounded and compassionate approach to supporting others.

  • My Approach

    My approach is grounded in clinical training, community practice, and real-world organizational experience. This allows me to understand not only the personal challenges you bring — but also the environments, systems, and pressures that shape them.
