Kia ora, hello, and Ayubowan. I’m Kushlani Munasinghe, a Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Supervisor, originally from Sri Lanka and now based in Tauranga. If you’ve found your way here, you might be thinking about starting therapy or simply wondering how it could help. You might be dealing with stress, anxiety or low mood, carrying the effects of trauma, struggling with relationships or attachment, finding it hard to manage emotions, exploring your identity, or navigating migration and life transitions. My approach is warm, open, inclusive, and creative, and I like to make space for reflection and curiosity.
I'm mindful of how our past shapes how we feel and respond today, and we’ll work together to understand what’s holding you back and strengthen the resources that help you feel more steady and connected. I draw on evidence-based approaches ACT, DBT-informed therapy, CBT, EMDR, SFT, Narrative, Gestalt, and Family Systems Therapy, and tailor therapy to you.
I’ve worked in Sri Lanka and Aotearoa New Zealand for over 13 years, and support young adults, parents, couples and families. I offer in-person and online sessions in English and Sinhalese. If you’d like to see if we’re a good fit, you’re welcome to email me for a free 15-minute chat.
