About Amali
Amali Hapugoda is a counsellor with a decade of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings. Her manner is gentle and practical, aimed at making each session feel manageable.
Amali works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges around self-esteem and career change.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing complex life events such as bereavement, separation, chronic illness and caregiving strain. Sessions are shaped around the person sitting in front of her rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Her approach is integrative.
That means she draws on several models to suit the needs of each client as they change over time. Conversations may look at past experiences to make sense of the present, while also focusing on practical steps to manage day-to-day life. Amali is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She practises from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. International clients are welcome and formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions that fit their schedule.
Amali aims to work collaboratively to agree goals and review progress as therapy continues.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs in early sessions and adapt methods as progress is reviewed. People often try one approach and then blend others as their needs shift over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments while still following a clear plan of support.
