Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by past experiences, stuck in patterns they can’t shift, or unsure how to heal old emotional wounds. They are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress that affect all areas of their lives including their relationships and work. They want relief, clarity, and a sense of inner calm and confidence. They’re seeking a safe, supportive space to understand themselves, process trauma, and reconnect with what matters to them.

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.

If you're in a relationship that's wearing you down, or you're out of one wondering how you ended up here again, I can help. I work with men, women, and couples who are ready to do things differently. About half my clients come alone, they're tired of repeating the same patterns in how they connect, fight, or shut down. The other half are couples carrying years of conflict, distance, or pain. Affairs, power struggles, mismatched desire - these are hard, but they're not hopeless. I offer a clear, structured approach to help you understand what's really going on and actually create meaningful change.

Therapy provides a safe space to explore issues and practice new ways of being and the potential for healing from 'stuckness' or a clinical condition. The relationship with the therapist is most important in therapy, so feel free to give me a call to see if we connect. I'm registered with WorkCover (Worksafe Victoria) and specialise in helping those with trauma and workplace injury, psychological or physical, as well as ongoing medical conditions and health problems. I have training in psychodynamic and body-oriented approaches (somatics) and EMDR, as well as cognitive-behavioural (CBT) approaches like ACT.

I work with teens and adults navigating the impacts of both single-incident and ongoing relational trauma. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, drawing on EMDR, somatic, and creative therapies to support processing and nervous system regulation. I focus on fostering holistic connection - with yourself, others, and your environment. I’m curious about the coping strategies you’ve developed, understanding them as adaptive and meaningful, while exploring new ways of being and relating. I hold your story within its broader context, recognising the influence of family, community, and society in shaping your experience.

If you’re neurodivergent—especially late-diagnosed—LGBTQ, and carrying trauma (from what happened or what was missing), you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. Clients often come in burnt out from masking, untangling a late diagnosis, or navigating identity, relationships, and lingering trauma. Together, we make sense of your story without trying to “fix” you. My approach is affirming, trauma-informed, and practical—helping you build self-understanding, self-trust, and ways of moving through the world that actually fit you.
