I'm Sanduni, a psychologist and South Asian Woman of Colour with over 10 years of experience in the mental health sector. I started Insession Counselling to provide therapy to people from all cultural backgrounds, gender identities and sexual orientations. Navigating my own experiences of marginalisation and intersectionality as a queer Sri-Lankan woman has allowed me to truly understand how culture, gender and sexuality shape so much of who we are and how we experience relationships. I combine this lived experience with evidence-based psychological interventions so that the therapy you receive is tailored specifically to you.

You might be experiencing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, or grieving a loss. Perhaps you feel pressured or stuck and unable to be your true self, impacting your relationships with your partner, colleagues, classmates, or family members. Sometimes memories of family violence or childhood abuse can further complicate your situation, making you feel isolated and disconnected from others. It's important to know that you don't have to be with these challenges alone. Support for your emotional or psychological wellbeing and healing is available. Please contact me to see how I can help.

I am a clinical psychologist and have worked for the past decade exploring meaning in life, the balance between change and acceptance, the unconscious, and patterns leading us to want to destroy or hurt ourselves and each other. Who really knows anything about what we're doing here? In the psychology practice I offer knowing isn't as prized as wondering and exploring. I see people who experience stress, anxiety, loneliness, trauma, depression, relationship difficulties, loss, addiction, low self-confidence, ADHD, and a lack of direction/purpose

We all fall on hard times. Darkness and malevolence are part of the human condition, and tragedy often strikes when we least expect it. The counterbalance is a deep human connection – a helping hand or guiding light. The first step to getting that help is often the hardest, and finding the right person is important. That help can be the difference, and it’s one of the key reasons why I became a psychologist.

My interest ranges within various mental health issues, including those mood-related, such as depression and anxiety, and those associated with personality disorders, particularly Borderline and Narcissistic presentations. I encourage my clients to build a collaborative therapeutic relationship, where the client has the central role, and my role is to help them create a life worth living. This process often includes identifying family dynamics/early experiences that lead to unhelpful beliefs and patterns of behavior, accepting what cannot be changed and embracing the process of making changes to commit to a more meaningful life.
