Chandika Makanjee, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

About Chandika

Many couples come to therapy feeling disconnected, hopeless, and unsure if their relationship can survive. They may feel like they speak different languages and are stuck in a cycle of conflict and misunderstanding. The pain of feeling unseen and unheard by the person you love most can be overwhelming.
I help couples reconnect by fostering open, honest communication and exploring the underlying emotions driving their conflicts. Through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I guide you to understand each other’s vulnerabilities and needs, allowing you to create a secure bond and rebuild trust.
My goal is to help you rediscover the love and connection that brought you together, to feel understood and valued by your partner, and to build a stronger, more resilient relationship.
