Amali Hapugoda

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.
