About Savithri
Savithri (Savi) Jayaweera is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds the NCPS credential and has a long history of helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem and motivation. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion while tailoring conversations and plans to each person’s needs.
Savi practises from an integrative perspective and draws on Jungian ideas alongside cognitive and relational approaches.
Background and approach
She leans on methods that help people recognise unhelpful thinking patterns and on work that pays attention to attachment and relational patterns. In sessions she focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as on understanding deeper personal meaning.
Her background includes work with BAME communities, youth services and organisations that support people affected by addiction, domestic violence and sexual abuse. That experience informs an awareness of cultural and social pressures that can shape wellbeing. She speaks English, Hindi, Sinhala and Urdu.
Savi offers therapy by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and she accepts international clients. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary by location and therapist availability. To begin, a prospective client uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
This process helps match practical needs and communication preferences before the first appointment.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Jungian therapy pays attention to symbols, dreams and personal meaning, helping people make sense of recurring patterns. It can be useful for those who want to understand deeper life themes and inner conflicts.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values. It suits people coping with anxiety, depression or life transitions who want practical tools to move forward.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how they shape current connections and reactions. This approach helps when relationship patterns, communication problems or trust issues are causing distress.
Working out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will talk openly about different ways of working and make choices together based on goals, preferences and how someone responds in early sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging works well for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on progress and practical next steps.
