I am a clinical psychologist in Melbourne who primarily works with adults. My role is to create a warm and approachable space where therapy is tailored to your goals and your individuality. I focus on building trust, safety, and openness so that therapy can feel both supportive and practical.
I am a clinical psychologist who works with a wide range of communities and presentations. I strive to create a safe, empathetic and approachable space, adapting my interventions to be client-focused and meaningful. My experience working in different cultural and socio-economic communities has shown me how important it is to include each client’s unique position and identity within therapy.
This is also something I have learned personally. Growing up as a second generation Australian, I have navigated the differences and challenges that come with straddling multiple cultures and identities. This has shaped the way I work, ensuring that therapy is not only evidence-based but also sensitive, flexible and respectful of each person’s lived experience.
I have a special interest in working with trauma in all its forms. I am trained in different modalities that allow me to help people address both the daily impacts of trauma and its deeper effects on identity, relationships, and self-worth. I also bring a neuro-affirming perspective to therapy, seeking to ensure that everyone feels accepted and empowered.
Outside of work I enjoy reading, especially fantasy novels, writing poetry and short stories, and strolling through markets and op shops. I am a big foodie and love to try different cuisines and restaurants around Melbourne. I am fluent in English and Sinhalese.
I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, chosen according to your goals and what feels most useful for you.
