Dr. Shanaka Kodithuwakku

Dr. Shanaka is a GP with a calm, compassionate approach to care. With over 20 years of experience in general practice, she supports her patients through all stages of life, blending medical knowledge with a thoughtful, whole-person perspective.

She has a particular interest in:

• Mental health– offering gentle support for stress, anxiety, and mood-related concerns as a registered Focused Psychological Strategies (FPS) provider
• Women’s health– including cervical screening, contraception (IUDs and Implanon), fertility advice, and guidance through perimenopause and menopause
• Lifestyle medicine– helping manage chronic health conditions through practical, sustainable changes to everyday life

Her work focuses on building trust and walking alongside patients as they navigate physical and emotional health. Whether it’s managing long-term conditions, supporting hormonal balance, or improving sleep and energy, her care is grounded, respectful, and tailored to each individual.

Away from medicine, Dr. Shanaka values stillness, walks by the sea and time with loved ones. She believes healing often begins with being truly heard and that small, mindful shifts can make all the difference.
