About Me

I guide individuals through online Counseling, fostering mental well-being and personal growth. I work with children to build essential skills and help adults gain clarity about their mental health. Using practical CBT techniques, we can explore effective ways to manage thoughts and emotions. My aim is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where you can gain confidence and grow.

Approach

Master Brain sessions blend practical CBT, life coaching and NLP into clear, doable steps you can practice between meetings to build skills and awareness. I offer flexible online and in-person appointments from Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia, working in English, Sinhala or Tamil so families and individuals can stay connected and consistent. In sessions we set small goals, use brief skill-building exercises, and review progress with gentle problem-solving — for children, adolescents or adults this pace supports steady change and clearer decision-making. This approach suits those wanting practical, structured support.
