Minoli Wickramasinghe
My name is Minoli Wickramasinghe, and I support youth, couples, and people in recovery to navigate challenges and move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives. I provide a safe and compassionate space where clients can explore their experiences, build coping strategies, and work toward personal and relationship goals.
My approach is person-centred and evidence-based, drawing on trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, and recovery-focused practices. I help young people manage mental health and substance-related challenges, guide couples in strengthening their relationships, and support individuals in recovery to find hope, stability, and resilience. With over ten years of counselling and training experience, I am committed to creating an environment where people feel empowered to make meaningful changes.
If you’re seeking support for yourself, your relationship, or your recovery journey, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.

Online Counselling FAQs
We’ve answered some of the most common questions people search for when considering online counselling in New Zealand: based on their specialisations.
What is online counselling and how does it work?
Online counselling allows you to connect with a qualified counsellor from the comfort and privacy of your own space, usually via a secure video call. At Mindful Connections, our sessions are held on a confidential, user-friendly platform. All you need is a quiet space, an internet connection, and a device with a camera. Once you choose your counsellor, you can book a session that suits your schedule — it’s that easy.
Is online counselling as effective as in-person therapy?
Yes, studies have shown that online counselling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy for many people and issues. It’s convenient, discreet, and allows you to access support regardless of your location. Our clients often tell us they feel more comfortable opening up in their own environment, which can help build trust and connection with their counsellor.
