Amali Hapugoda

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

You may be reading this because you are feeling anxious and vulnerable. You may be feeling the lack of fulfilment in your life. you may have had therapy before or this could be your first time. Either way I would like to introduce you to myself. I believe that every individual is different and brings their unique life experience to therapy. For this reason, within private practice, I work with clients on an individual basis who may present with a broad range of concerns regardless of their backgrounds. I provide a non judgemental safe space to explore your emotions and difficulties.
Here are some recent reviews from my practise:

“Amali is a thoughtful and caring listener, who asks insightful questions and provides helpful reflections. She combines an approach that looks to understand one’s past to contextualise the present while suggesting practical ways to make sense of challenging moments and feelings. Her support and advice has and continues to be extremely valuable in navigating difficult emotions and circumstances”.

“Amali is an excellent therapist. She has the patience to understand and listen to your problems/troubles without any judgement. After my therapy sessions I always feel like a weight has lifted off my shoulders and feel a lot lighter. I feel and see a massive positive change in me since I started therapy with Amali”.

“Amali provided me with a safe space in which I could work through any issues, guided by her compassionate and gentle approach which made me feel at ease. Amali is a very caring therapist and I felt well supported at all times”.

Some of the areas of clinical interest to me are Anxiety, depression, phobias, low self-esteem, eating disorders, sexual abuse, trauma, Insomnia, and grief. It is evident that individuals may share a number of emotional difficulties across all of these categories, each person bringing an individual story and need as appropriate.

My approach is integrative. That is, I choose to draw from a wide range of available theoretical and evidence-based models in order to meet the needs of any one client at any particular time on their journey towards resolution. In this way, I am able to work with a client within a collaborative and client-focussed paradigm, and to tailor a programme of therapy best suited to each individual. The programme may be subject to change as a client makes progress over time, and subject to on-going review.

About

Amali Hapugoda is a UK-based therapist with 10 years of clinical experience who works with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds. People often seek her support when feeling anxious, vulnerable or missing a sense of fulfilment in life; she welcomes both those who have had therapy before and those trying it for the first time.

She provides a non-judgemental, safe space where clients can explore emotions and difficulties at their own pace. In private practice she sees each person as unique, attending to the individual story and tailoring work to meet specific needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution.

Her clinical interests include anxiety, depression, phobias, low self-esteem, eating disorders, sexual abuse, trauma and grief, as well as insomnia. Amali works collaboratively with clients to develop a programme of support that may change as progress is made and is reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Amali describes her approach as integrative – she draws from a range of evidence-informed models to meet the needs of each client at the appropriate time. This client-focused method allows her to adapt interventions and pace to best support recovery and coping with life changes.

Recent reviews of her practice emphasise her thoughtful, compassionate listening, her patience and the practical insights she offers. Clients report feeling well supported and experiencing meaningful change during and after therapy with her.
