Anxiety, depression, relationship and communication difficulties, people pleasing, shame, perfectionism, and low self-worth are just some of the struggles that can leave you feeling caught in painful patterns that are difficult to change. Often, these patterns make more sense when we understand them in the context of your early relationships and life experiences. My work helps you explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, so they no longer define how you relate to yourself, others, and the world. Together, we work towards greater self-trust, emotional wellbeing, and healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

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.

Drawing on somatic, psychodynamic, and relational approaches, EMDR, and DBT skills, I tailor our work to you — helping clients understand old patterns, manage anxiety, and build a steadier sense of self and connection.
Adults navigating anxiety, relationship difficulties, and the lasting effects of early attachment experiences often find their way to me — sometimes surfacing as emotional ups and downs, self-doubt, or trouble trusting others. Many arrive during a life transition, when old patterns resurface and current coping strategies no longer feel like enough. Together, we slow down, make sense of these patterns, and build a steadier, more secure relationship with the self and others — so you can move through change with more clarity and self-trust.
