About Savithri

Savithri (Savi) Jayaweera is a UK-licensed integrative psychotherapist with 16 years of professional experience working across diverse communities and age groups. She combines clinical training and postgraduate studies in clinical psychology, counselling, and psychotherapy to offer assessment, counselling, and tailored treatment plans that reflect each person’s background and needs. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional designation that reflects her clinical training and experience.

Her practice focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem and motivation, grief, parenting and family challenges, and issues affecting LGBT clients. She has particular experience supporting children, young people, families, and Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, and has worked on projects related to domestic violence, sexual abuse, and HIV/AIDS.

Working from an integrative framework, she draws on evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioural approaches alongside person-centred and attachment-informed techniques, adapting sessions to the client’s culture, values, and goals. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and supports clients through life transitions, recovery from harm, and efforts to build healthier relationships and greater wellbeing. Prospective clients can expect collaborative, individualized care aimed at practical and personal progress.

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. It is practical and goal-focused, useful for mood concerns, coping strategies, and problem solving.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence present-day patterns in intimacy, trust, and emotional regulation. This approach can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and families working through cycles of disconnection.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the client’s own perspective and values guide the work. It supports self-exploration, confidence building, and personal growth across many life challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and she works collaboratively with clients to select or combine methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals will tailor pacing and techniques so therapy fits each person’s circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexibility to access care by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or living in a different region. These formats support continuity of care, ongoing reflection between sessions, and convenient access to skilled therapists regardless of location.
