About Me

I help women and children navigate life's complexities. I foster a safe space to explore emotions, drawing on integrated therapy and hypnotherapy. As an experienced counsellor, I tailor our work to your unique needs. For children, this might involve playful ways to build confidence. For women, we can focus on discovering inner strengths. My aim is to equip you with practical tools, helping you feel more resilient and find clarity.

Approach

Building on our earlier focus, I guide sessions with gentle structure and clear goals, blending talking work with hypnotherapy to uncover unhelpful patterns and strengthen coping. In Kandy I meet clients in Tamil and also offer online appointments, shaping pace to what feels manageable—short, playful tasks for younger clients and reflective exercises for adults, with simple practices to try between sessions. People seeking steady, collaborative change tend to find this practical, gentle way of working helpful.
