Her background includes training in counselling and advanced study in psychology and neuroscience.
Dilshini uses Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy as core ways of working. Sessions focus on listening closely, naming feelings and helping people make sense of shifts in work, relationships and wellbeing. She brings prior experience with creative expression to encourage different ways of noticing inner experience.
Her training path includes an MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience from King’s College London and counselling training at the Metanoia Institute.

As a South Asian counsellor she is aware of cultural expectations and how they affect help-seeking and family dynamics. She offers a collaborative style that aims to be respectful and sensitive to cultural background while addressing practical problems. Typical work might involve talking through relationship patterns, coping with illness or caregiving stress, or sorting out how to feel more steady after loss or trauma.
Dilshini invites people who feel stuck or uncertain about what comes next to begin with a short matching questionnaire and a first appointment. The approach is conversational and focused on what matters to the person in front of her.
Using Client-Centred and Emotion-Focused methods online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what feels most important to the person. It helps when someone needs a space to talk things through and notice their own values and priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions show up in relationships and within oneself, and it can be useful for people dealing with attachment issues, grief or patterns that repeat in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these methods with clients and decide together what to try first. That collaborative process means plans can change as needs and goals become clearer over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people choose quieter surroundings or simpler audio-only conversations when that works better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and emotional focusing techniques for remote sessions so the work stays practical and focused on what a person wants to address.
