Dr Nisal Perera, PhD
Psychologist
Verified“I am an addiction Psychologist working in Sri Lanka.”
About Me
As an addiction psychologist in Sri Lanka, I draw on my advanced training to help individuals navigate the challenging path to recovery. I offer a compassionate, structured space to explore the underlying patterns of addiction. Together, we can develop practical coping strategies.
Approach
My work is steady and focused. We start with brief check-ins to track cravings and mood, then spend time exploring the deeper patterns that may be keeping the struggle going. Support can continue between sessions through simple tasks and regular reflection. Sessions combine practical tools, evidence-based approaches, and supportive accountability, always tailored to your needs and pace.
