I originally met with Shiyanka for couples therapy for my partner and I to improve our communication and become a stronger couple. Shiyanka was very warm and non-judgemental, and listened to our individual issues in a way that helped us work through them together. She gave us tools to take away that helped us get back on track when we needed it. More recently, I have started individual counselling with Shiyanka and have found them just as useful. She builds trust and understanding, getting to know me and my background, giving me tools to challenge my thinking without taking way from my values
