About Savithri
Savithri (Savi) Jayaweera is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds the NCPS credential and has worked across community and statutory settings. Savi aims to meet people where they are and help them move towards greater wellbeing.
Savi focuses on practical conversation and tailored plans. She listens for each person's priorities and adapts sessions to match their needs. She describes therapy as a partnership where the client's goals guide the work.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, youth services and projects supporting people affected by domestic violence, sexual abuse, addiction and HIV. That experience shapes a culturally aware approach and an emphasis on safety and respect. In practice she draws on an integrative skillset.
That includes cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, person-centred listening to build trust, and attachment-informed thinking about relationships and early experiences. Savi also uses emotion-focused and acceptance-based techniques when helpful. She offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, relationship problems, grief and parenting challenges.
Sessions are available in English, Hindi, Sinhala and Urdu and Savi works with people both in the UK and internationally. People can expect clear, direct conversation and practical steps between meetings. Savi aims to help clients find ways to cope better, rebuild confidence and make lasting changes at a pace that suits them.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will talk through your goals and try methods that suit your needs and preferences. Over time the plan can change based on what helps most, so the process stays collaborative and flexible.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls let you see facial cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, written reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options help make regular therapy easier to arrange and keep progress moving forward.
