The Role of Psychotherapy
In the treatment of mental illnesses, alongside with medication psychotherapy is recommended as part of the mainstream treatment recommendations. Yet, due to the inadequacy of qualified psychologists in Sri Lanka, most mentally ill patients do not receive psychological treatments. This is specially so as there are no psychologists attached to the government health service.
Yet, in the recovery from mental illnesses psychological treatments play a crucial part. Therefore, CPS offers a wide range of individual treatments for individuals suffering from mental illnesses. For patients with mental illnesses treatments are provided by a qualified clinical psychologist registered in the Sri Lanka Medical Council.

Do I always have to have a mental illness to receive psychological treatments?
The answer is a big “No”. Time to time we may face issues, problems, challenges in life, where we might require the support of a professional. For example you might just need to sort out few issues at work or a relationship issue. For this you can always see a psychologist or a counsellor.
You can make appointments online or by visiting our premises. For online appointments, schedule below. Do not forget to bring all your treatment records with your psychiatrist if you are already seeing one and any other reports on any physical illnesses you might have.
