Niveen Rajabdeen, ACA

Niveen Rajabdeen is an ACA counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She meets people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected and helps them find clearer ways forward in day-to-day life.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens first, then works with each person to set small, practical goals. Sessions often include breathing and grounding strategies alongside talking things through.

Niveen draws on several evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). She also uses Attachment-Based and client-centred ideas to help people understand relationship patterns and attachment needs.

Her background includes seven years of clinical experience in Australia and broader training in counselling, psychotherapy, Ayurveda, yoga and meditation. That mix gives her a practical emphasis on nervous system regulation and wellbeing, not only on thoughts and behaviours.

Typical concerns she works with include anxiety, depression, workplace stress, grief, trauma and life transitions. She also helps people facing intimacy issues, addiction-related problems, ADHD-related challenges and the stress of caregiving.

Niveen aims to make therapy a place where people feel heard and supported while they build skills to manage difficult feelings and improve relationships. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and book a first session according to the therapist's scheduling process.

Online therapy and the approaches Niveen uses

Niveen works with therapies that focus on values, patterns and emotional connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce worry and change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotional patterns in relationships and helps people recognise and shift interacting cycles that keep them stuck.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on goals, preferences and the issues at hand. That way the plan adapts as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm the available session types before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone join from a quieter place or use audio-only contact if bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Appropriately qualified therapists can guide how to use online sessions so they suit day-to-day life and therapy goals.
