About Savithri
Savithri (Savi) Jayaweera brings 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS as a credential and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. Savi works with individuals facing trauma, addiction, mood concerns and self-esteem struggles.
She speaks English, Hindi, Sinhala and Urdu which helps her connect with diverse communities. Savi describes her approach as integrative. She draws on evidence-informed tools such as cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance work alongside relational methods that look at attachment and emotions.
Background and approach
Sessions centre on the person in front of her and are shaped to meet each person’s needs and goals. Conversations are practical and paced to the client’s comfort. Her background includes work with BAME communities, youth services and organisations supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
She has provided one-to-one support for young people with complex needs, and has experience partnering with education, health and social care agencies. This practical experience informs her work with clients who face cultural and life transitions. In the therapy room Savi aims to offer respect, sensitivity and compassion.
She helps people identify unhelpful thinking and develop skills to manage emotions and behaviour. She also supports coaching-style goals such as career choices and coping with change. People can expect sessions that combine talking, skill-building and reflection.
Savi will work collaboratively to create a plan that fits the client’s situation and preferred pace. Taking the first step is recognised as a brave move, and she offers steady support through that process.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best. That choice is guided by the person’s goals, background and what feels comfortable in sessions.
Online therapy with Savi can be delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, while live chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around daily life, travel and time zones, while keeping a consistent therapeutic process.
