About us
Structured mental health programmes integrating psychology and physiology.
About Somaia Health Consortium CIC
Somaia Health Consortium CIC delivers structured mental health programmes that combine psychological principles with physical and experiential approaches. Our work supports individuals to better understand, manage and take responsibility for their mental and physical health.
Programmes are delivered in group settings across clinical and community environments, with a focus on engaging people who may not respond to traditional services. Talking based support is not always enough for everyone, particularly where engagement is low, so our approach integrates physical and experiential methods to improve accessibility and outcomes.
By combining practical learning with real world application, Somaia supports people to build awareness, develop resilience and create sustainable change.
Our vision
A future where people believe in their own ability to live well and belong.
Our mission
To provide early, compassionate support that sees the whole person. Combining strength training with clinically led psychology, we create preventative, trauma informed care with individuals, communities and services, shaped by lived experience.
Our values
Preventative wellbeing
We believe the best support begins early. Through awareness, practical guidance and compassionate intervention, we help people build the confidence and tools to protect and improve their wellbeing before challenges become harder to manage.
Collaboration
Meaningful change happens together. We work openly with people, families, communities and partners to build support that is coordinated, accessible and centred on shared goals.
Connection
Health and wellbeing are strengthened through connection. We help people feel more linked to themselves, to trusted relationships, to their communities and to the environment around them.
Holistic health
We support the whole person, recognising that mind, body, community and environment are fully integrated in good health and wellbeing.
Self belief
We believe people already have the inner resources to live healthy, fulfilling lives. Our role is to help them find and build on those strengths, until they no longer need us.
