Insession Counselling
Psychologist, MSc, PsyBA General
Hawthorn, VIC 3122
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.

Have you ever understood your struggles logically, but felt like your body and emotions haven't caught up? Many of my clients arrive feeling 'stuck' in painful, repetitive loops—whether that’s a challenging relational pattern, persistent anxiety, or past memories that still feel vivid and heavy today. I specialise in working with adults who haven't experienced the shift they hoped for through traditional talk therapy, guiding them to unpack core schemas and process deep-seated trauma using EMDR.

Many of the adults I work with have ADHD and feel like they are constantly trying to keep up with life’s demands. Focus can come and go, routines are hard to hold, and energy often runs out before the day is done. ADHD rarely sits on its own. Anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, or chronic health concerns often overlap. My clients want to understand how their mind works, reduce the mental load, and build ways of working with their attention and energy rather than fighting it.

It gets full-on at times. Life feels demanding, people seem harsh or confusing, the hurt feels overwhelming, and the answers seem so far away. Other times, you’re left wondering what the point of it all is, and whether there is more to life. I want to help however I can. Helping people to understand themselves, navigate relationships, perceive the world more clearly, and discover meaning in life brings me great joy. Even better is helping people find their own innate resources to cope and to heal.
