I'm a counsellor and South Asian Woman of Colour with over 10 years experience in psychology, counselling and mental health. 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.
I offer Individual counselling (face to face or online), couples counselling & mental health and ADHD assessments.
Many clients have said to me...."I want a therapist who just understands my culture, I don't want to feel like I need to educate my therapist" This highlighted to me, the need for therapy to be truly inclusive and consider the subtle, unspoken nuances of each persons identity, community and circumstances.
