If you are a young adult who has anxiety, lacks motivation and clarity then I can offer you the special support you need . Many in the age group of 18 -45 years feel this way. They feel they are wandering along without direction and focus. Change is possible. From my years of experience, I have seen remarkable change in the mindset of clients, many of whom have undergone severe trauma in childhood, All this within a safe, confidential environment where there is absolutely no judgement The goal is to work towards becoming the best version of yourself. I speak Sinhalese and understand Asian culture

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.
