About Me

With over 12 years’ experience, this psychologist guides individuals, families, and couples through emotional challenges. Drawing on a PhD in psychology, they offer comprehensive support for mental health, relationships, and personal growth. Sessions might explore emotions through creative methods, or provide practical strategies from CBT. This helps clients understand themselves better. It's an ideal approach for those seeking a seasoned professional to strengthen their well-being.

Approach

Practical, structured sessions move at a steady pace toward goals we set together, blending reflective exploration with concrete skills. In Colombo or online, in English, Tamil or Sinhalese, I use targeted assessments, psychometric feedback and brief between-session tasks to map patterns and measure progress. Therapy often pairs gentle art-based reflection, rhythm-sensitive scheduling and CBT-style experiments so you practice new responses in daily life while I coach and refine the plan. This way suits adolescents, adults, parents and couples seeking measurable change and usable tools.
