Sierra Kariyawasam

I am a Counsellor, Psychologist, and a trainee Psychotherapist currently pursuing a Doctorate in Counselling Psychotherapy. With over 10 years of experience in mental health and more than 25 years working in both academia and the corporate sector, I bring a broad and compassionate perspective to my work with clients. I have supported individuals with a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, confidence, relationship difficulties, motivation, concentration and memory challenges, as well as neurodiversity such as ASD and ADHD. I also work with individuals who are looking to improve focus, find direction, and build a more fulfilling personal or professional life. In addition to therapeutic work, I also serve as a mentor, coach, and mental health consultant, offering guidance in both personal development and organisational wellbeing. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and empowering. I believe that you are the expert of your own story, and that you already hold many strengths that can help you overcome your challenges. It takes courage to seek support, and I am here to walk alongside you—to listen, support, and encourage your growth toward a more meaningful and satisfying life.
