About Me

I offer a thoughtful, structured space for those seeking personal growth. With a PhD in Counseling Psychology, I draw on extensive expertise to guide our sessions. My role as Chairman of the Chamber of Psychology and Counseling Srilanka ensures an ethically grounded approach. Clients seeking a knowledgeable and reliable guide will find a steady process here. This fosters clarity and resilience amidst life's complexities.

Approach

Leadership in the profession has shaped how I structure therapy: clear goals, measured steps and respectful accountability that help clients navigate complexity. Sessions in Nuwara Eliya or by secure online meeting—available in English, Singales and Tamil—move at a practical pace, balancing reflection with skill-building. I set short, achievable tasks between meetings, track progress collaboratively, and attend gently to emotional safety when sensitive themes arise. This way of working suits people of all ages seeking clearer choices and renewed resilience.
