Hello, I'm Heshani (she/her),

Some things are hard to make sense of on your own. Even when you know professional support could help, starting therapy can feel uncertain. You might not know what to say, wonder whether what you�re going through is �serious enough�, or worry about finding someone you can trust. That hesitation is completely normal. Feeling safe, understood and able to be yourself is an important part of therapy. I�m a Clinical Psychologist with a warm, curious and collaborative approach. I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, with particular interests in anxiety, trauma and women�s mental health. I draw on approaches including CBT, ACT, schema therapy and psychodynamic therapy, but I won�t ask you to fit a single mold. Together, we�ll explore what If you�re thinking about therapy, you�re welcome to get in touch. You can ask questions and share a little about what you�re looking for, and we can consider whether working together feels like a good fit.
