Dr Madura Gunawardhana, PhD

Psychologist

“I am an experienced Psychologist which is having 18 years experience in mental health rehabilitation and counselling.”

About Me

With 18 years as a psychologist, I guide individuals through mental health rehabilitation and Counseling. We work together to understand challenges and develop practical, everyday strategies. Our sessions can explore effective ways to regain balance and build resilience. Clients value my extensive experience, finding a grounded, collaborative space. I aim to support your unique path towards lasting stability and well-being.

Approach

Experience informs a practical, steady way of working that focuses on small, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes. In Panadura and online, sessions are conducted in English with clear pacing and room for reflection between meetings. I guide people through focused, collaborative steps—safety planning, short-term skill building and realistic routines—that address anxiety, past harm and adolescent struggles as they arise. Those who appreciate calm, structured support and concrete tools often find this approach helpful.
