About Us

Shurmara Fernando was looking for someone like her when she came across psychology informed coaching. After continuous learning, self-development and coaching practice, she decided to branch out from her academic career, to become a personal and career development coach.

She is now, a committed personal and career coach located in Sydney, Australia. With an immense passion for continuous learning and self-growth, Shurmara Professional Services was established, to provide tailored coaching and mentoring services, to assist people in their personal and career development.

Developmental Coaching

Shurmara Fernando is deeply committed to the belief that every individual has the capacity to grow, evolve, and chart their own path forward. With a psychology-informed coaching approach, she creates a safe, supportive, and empowering space where clients can explore who they are, clarify what they want, and strengthen the inner capabilities needed to move confidently toward their goals.

Shurmara’s practice is grounded in the ethical standards of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), ensuring that each coaching relationship is built on trust, confidentiality, respect, and genuine partnership. Rather than offering quick fixes or prescriptive advice, she walks alongside her clients, facilitating insight, encouraging reflection, and empowering them to make decisions that feel authentic and aligned with their values.

Personal and Career Mentoring

Drawing from her experience in personal development, career guidance, and human behaviour, Shurmara supports clients in navigating life transitions, building self-awareness, uncovering strengths, and developing the confidence to move forward on their own terms. Her approach is warm, intuitive, and deeply human-centred, rooted in the belief that meaningful change is most powerful when it comes from within.

Whether you are seeking clarity, growth, or a renewed sense of direction, Shurmara offers a thoughtful and collaborative space where you can discover your next steps with intention and confidence.
