PsychoSL.blogspot.com is an accomplishment of our innocent dream. We are under graduate students in University of Peradeniya who studying Psychology as our subject. As Sri Lankans we know psychology hasn’t spread in our society as we expect and there are bunch of jugglers who shed myths using name of psychology. We study psychology in university and we know the worth of this subject and the precise of the subject. Psychology is the greatest subject to describe the human. It can describe the man and suggest cure for life difficulties. Yet Sri Lankan society hasn’t good awakening of this. So as Psychology students we have a responsibility to popularize Psychology in Sri Lanka.

This attempt is for that purpose and we are ready to work hard to reach our goals. This blog site discuss about theoretical and applied divisions of Psychology. We hope that this will be profitable for student who studying psychology in Sri Lanka and for the whole society as a path of true psychology.

Sad? Depressed?

Feel like ending it all?

Whoever you are, Whatever you are dealing with,

We’re here to LISTEN in total confidence.

You can talk to us about anything that is troubling you.


We won’t judge you, we won’t tell you what to do.


What we will do is give you the time to think things through.


We will LISTEN with an open mind, and in complete confidence, for as long as you need.
