Counselling & Psychotherapy

At the age of ten, I commenced a noteworthy journey as a Buddhist monk amidst the serene landscapes of Sri Lanka, dedicating myself to a life centred on contemplation and spiritual development. Over the course of more than two decades, I wholly embraced the monastic vocation with its own beauty & ugliness, an experience that significantly enriched my understanding of existence and interconnection. Upon transitioning from this sacred life to the dynamic landscape of lay life in my early thirties, I made a conscious decision to leverage my extensive experiences into a meaningful career as a counsellor and psychotherapist. This pivotal transition symbolised not merely a departure from monasticism, but the adoption of a new role dedicated to uplifting the lives of others. My extensive training in counselling and psychotherapy has proven invaluable, facilitating a seamless transition into this new professional landscape with both grace and intention. It is with humility that I now utilise my accumulated knowledge to empower individuals as they navigate their own transformative life changes. My therapeutic approach is characterised by a distinctive integration of practices, grounded in established psychological principles and enriched by extensive spiritual and experiential insights. While language may fall short in fully encapsulating the therapeutic experience, numerous clients have attested to the transformative impact of my innovative and empathetic methodologies in their lives. The initial session with me may represent the first step towards accessing the support you require to flourish. I hold a BA in Psychology, an MA in Counselling, and a PhD obtained through research, with a dedicated focus on the profound impact of adverse childhood experiences on adult life. As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a chartered member of the British Psychological Society (BPS), I am committed to creating a secure and nurturing environment that fosters your personal growth. Together, let us embark on this journey, illuminating the path ahead for you.
