Harshani Algiriyage is a counsellor based in Maribyrnong, VIC. You can find the practice at 471 Gordon Street, Maribyrnong VIC 3032. Harshani works with people who want a bit more space to think things through and make day to day life feel more manageable.
Sessions can be one-on-one or in a group setting, depending on what suits you best. Many people come in when stress feels too big, or when they’re finding it hard to cope with what’s happening at home, at work, or in their relationships. Over time, counselling can help you spot patterns, slow things down, and work out practical ways to respond instead of just reacting.
Harshani also offers support around stress management. That might include learning simple coping skills for tough moments, building better ways to handle pressure, and finding healthier routines that stick. At times, people aren’t sure where the stress is coming from, and that’s okay. The work is often about gently sorting out what’s going on, then choosing tools that fit real life, not just a theory.
Group therapy sessions can be a good option for some clients too. In a group, it can feel easier to realise you’re not the only one dealing with similar challenges. It also gives people a chance to share experiences and learn from each other, while still keeping things structured and supportive.
Harshani uses a calm, steady approach and focuses on the here and now. The aim is to help you feel more in control, even when things don’t instantly change. Counselling isn’t always about quick fixes. In many cases, it’s about creating small steps that add up.
Language support is available in English and Sinhala, which can help you feel more comfortable and understood from the start.
