Savithri (Savi) Jayaweera , NCPS

Savithri (Savi) Jayaweera is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS and has worked across community services, youth work and referral agencies. She offers practical, down-to-earth support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties.

Savi focuses on tailoring conversations to each person's needs. She listens with respect and sensitivity and helps people set achievable steps towards better day-to-day functioning. Her approach aims to boost confidence, motivation and coping skills in real situations.

Her background includes long-term roles supporting Black and minority ethnic communities, young people and families, and work alongside organisations such as the NHS, addiction services and women-focused projects. That experience informs her practice when cultural issues, migration or identity affect wellbeing.

Savi uses a mix of evidence-informed methods in session. She draws on cognitive and behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking, attachment-informed ideas to look at relationships, and client-centred ways of meeting people where they are. This lets her adapt to different concerns from grief and loss to eating or sleeping problems.

She also has experience addressing more specific issues such as domestic violence, sexual abuse, HIV/AIDS, parenting stress, ADHD-related struggles, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi, Sinhala and Urdu for local and international clients.

People who choose Savi can expect practical listening, clear explanations and a collaborative plan. Her work aims to help people manage present difficulties and find steadier footing as they move forward.

Approach-led online therapy and practical support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and practise small actions that move life in that direction. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, helping with intimacy, trust and relationship repair.

Finding the right approach is part of how therapy works. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try first. This collaborative process allows techniques to be adjusted as therapy progresses to suit what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed, phone sessions work well when a simpler check-in is preferred, live chat can be useful for brief moments of support, and messaging suits people who like writing and short updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while continuing steady, consistent care.
