Dr. Thomas Dilushan

Thomas Dilushan is a clinical psychologist based in Colombo, working with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, and the pressures of demanding careers. His practice combines cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches, delivered in person and online. Thomas completed his BSc (Hons) in Psychology at the University of Colombo, followed by an MPhil in Clinical Psychology — the recognised clinical training pathway in Sri Lanka, including supervised placements at the National Institute of Mental Health, Angoda. He later earned an MSc in Psychological Wellbeing from a UK university, with research focused on occupational stress in high-pressure corporate environments. Over the past nine years, Thomas has worked across hospital, university counselling, and private practice settings. Before establishing his own practice, he served as a consultant psychologist to several Colombo-based corporates, designing employee wellbeing programmes and training managers to recognise and respond to mental health challenges in their teams. He is a member of the Sri Lanka Psychological Association and writes regularly on workplace mental health and work-life balance. When he isn't in session, Thomas is usually running, reading, or explaining to clients why "just relax" is the least useful advice ever given.
