Soundarya Wijeyanandan

A passionate and purpose-driven professional with over a decade of experience supporting children, youth, and vulnerable communities through education, coaching, and mental health care. My work has always been rooted in empathy—whether I’m helping a child navigate emotional challenges, guiding a youth toward their goals, or standing beside an elder reclaiming their dignity after trauma. From classrooms to care centers, and across cultures and countries, I bring a heart-centered approach backed by training in counseling, coaching, and trauma-informed care. I’ve also built programs, led teams empowering young adults. I believe in meeting people where they are, walking with them toward where they want to go, and making sure they know they don’t have to do it alone.
