About Niveen
Niveen Rajabdeen is an ACA counsellor with seven years of clinical experience in Australia. She works with people feeling overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, depression, trauma and life transitions.
Niveen helps clients talk through relationship strain, work stress and grief. She supports people noticing patterns such as people-pleasing, boundary difficulties or codependent behaviours. Sessions often include practical strategies to manage intense emotions and everyday pressures.
Her approach combines talking therapy with body-aware practices. She uses cognitive behavioural tools to challenge unhelpful thinking. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current bonds.
Niveen integrates acceptance and commitment techniques and emotionally focused work when relationships or intimacy are central. She offers mindfulness and nervous-system regulation strategies to reduce reactivity and improve calm. The focus is on small, concrete changes people can try between sessions.
Clients who prefer a collaborative style will find a focus on clear goals and step-by-step skills. Niveen also brings experience from counselling, psychotherapy and wellbeing practices such as yoga and meditation. That background informs how she supports people to build resilience and steadier relationships.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed and wants practical ways to move forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behaviour patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. It gives clear exercises to practise between sessions and can help reduce worry and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It is helpful for people who struggle with closeness, fear of abandonment or repeating old relationship dynamics.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit your needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as you learn what helps most.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in between commitments. They also let people continue work with a counsellor when circumstances change, while still using ACT, CBT or attachment-focused techniques in a conversational, skills-based way.
