Every generation has its own story to tell. So does every individual. We have an innate desire to be known and to connect, individually and collectively. To be known for our thoughts, dreams, ideas and achievements. To connect with our own selves and with each other to live meaningful lives.

When our purpose is unknown and when we struggle to connect and to find meaning…when we feel isolated, our mental health suffers. We, as human beings, need each other to share our highs and lows and to thrive in life in a healthy way.

The Wellness Center, founded in January 2021 by Varuni Fernando, offers help and guidance to individuals, couples and families to live with hope and healing through counseling and mental health education.

Varuni started her counseling work as a volunteer at Sri Lanka Sumithrayo in 2003 and has been serving the community independently for the past 20years. She is a certified Psychotherapist and holds diplomas in Psychology and Child Psychology (Institute of Mental Health, Colombo). Additionally, she holds a Diploma in Counseling and Psychotherapy (Institute of Psychological Studies, Colombo). As a passionate student of Psychology, she is also currently enrolled in further education at the University of London.

During her 20year career in the mercantile sector, Varuni had the opportunity to work for more than a decade in marketing and commercial training in the Asian region. With this experience in hand as well as her love for teaching Psychology, The Wellness Center offers short-term certificate programs in Counseling, Addiction Counseling and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.
