About Me
Dr. Shanez, a board-certified clinical psychologist, guides individuals through life's complexities. Her extensive background, including university lecturing, underpins a thoughtful, grounded approach. She helps clients explore challenges in a supportive space, understanding their experiences. Consultations are flexible: by phone, WhatsApp, or in-person. This blend of rigorous expertise and accessible support helps you discover a clear path forward.
Approach
You’ll find a steady, practical rhythm that moves from listening to small, doable shifts — brief check-ins, focused reflection and gentle skills practice that address anxious and low-mood patterns. Sessions in Colombo or via WhatsApp and phone, conducted in English, balance present-moment awareness with structured problem-solving so you leave with a concrete next step. Between meetings I offer simple exercises to try and we briefly review what worked, keeping progress visible and manageable. This way of working suits people seeking clear, collaborative support for anxiety and mood challenges.
