How I can help
Support for what you're carrying
You don't need a label for what you're going through to reach out. These are some of the areas I work with, but if yours isn't listed, you're welcome to ask.
Loss and life changes
When something ends, shifts or doesn't go to plan.
Bereavement and grief
Losing someone, or something important, can affect every part of life. Counselling offers space to grieve in your own way and at your own pace.
Transitions through life
A move, a new role, a relationship ending, becoming a parent. Even changes you chose can feel unsettling.
Career counselling
Support with career decisions, work pressures and figuring out what you want from your working life.
Mood and self-worth
When things feel heavy, flat or harder than they should.
Depression
When sadness, emptiness or a loss of interest lasts longer than it should.
Low mood
When you're not quite yourself and can't put your finger on why.
Self-esteem
When a harsh inner voice affects how you see yourself and what you feel you deserve.
Anxiety, stress and trauma
When your mind won't settle, or the past keeps showing up.
Anxiety
Worry that's hard to switch off, or feels out of proportion to what's happening.
Stress
When demands at work or at home start to feel like too much.
OCD
Intrusive thoughts and repeated behaviours that take up time and energy.
Trauma
When something that happened in the past still affects how you feel and react today.
Relationships
When connection with others feels strained or confusing.
Relationship issues
Difficulties with partners, family, friends or colleagues, including communication and boundaries.
Couples counselling
Support for couples who want to understand each other better and work through challenges together.
Online counselling works well when…
- You'd like support with the kinds of concerns listed above
- You have a device with Zoom and a stable internet connection
- You can find a quiet, private space for each session
When online counselling isn't the right fit
Some situations need more support than online counselling can safely offer. In these cases, specialist medical or psychiatric care, which may include medication or a hospital stay, is the better place to start.
This includes:
- Experiencing psychosis or a fragmented sense of reality
- Having thoughts of harming yourself or others
- Dependence on alcohol or drugs
- A diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder, Schizophrenia, or co-occurring disorders
If any of these apply, I'd encourage you to speak with a doctor, psychiatrist or specialist service. If you're unsure, you're welcome to email me and ask.
Not sure where to start?
A discovery session is a chance to talk it through and see if working together feels right.
Not an emergency service. For urgent support in Sri Lanka, call or text 1926 (free, 24 hours). More helplines on the Contact page.
