About Savithri
Savithri (Savi) Jayaweera is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She practises as an integrative psychotherapist and holds the NCPS credential. Savi focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression and addictions among other issues.
She speaks English, Hindi, Sinhala and Urdu. Savi believes people carry their own resources for change and uses that as a starting point. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs, with practical attention to thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Background and approach
She aims to be respectful, sensitive and compassionate in her approach. Her background includes work with community services, youth provision and specialist BAME projects. She has provided support in contexts that include domestic violence, sexual abuse, HIV and youth services.
This experience informs how she understands trauma, loss and cultural pressures. Savi draws on a mix of approaches to tailor therapy. She uses techniques that look at unhelpful thinking patterns and also values attachment and relational work.
Spiritual and transpersonal perspectives are sometimes included when they fit a person's views and goals. Parents and carers who are worried about a child's wellbeing or need help with family stress can expect straightforward, practical conversations. Savi has experience liaising with education, health and social services and aims to keep discussions focused on clear next steps.
Therapy can be arranged online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. The process begins with a short questionnaire to help match needs, and then sessions are scheduled according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, rather than getting stuck in avoidance. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns; it helps people understand connection, trust and repeated relational problems.Savi combines these approaches with client-centred listening to build a plan that fits each person. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will talk through options, try different techniques and adjust based on what helps you meet your goals.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video suits more in-depth conversational work and visual connection. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing support between sessions or when someone prefers typing to talking. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, childcare and travel, and allow access for international clients and those in different parts of the UK.
