About Niveen
Niveen Rajabdeen is an ACA counsellor with seven years of clinical experience in Australia. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family dynamics, self-esteem and life changes. Niveen works with people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected or unsure about their next steps.
She uses practical talking therapy alongside body-based tools such as mindfulness and nervous system regulation. Sessions aim to help people notice unhelpful patterns, practise new ways of coping and build steadier day-to-day routines. Her work covers depression, grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns as well as work-related burnout and compassion fatigue.
Niveen also supports people dealing with career shifts, ADHD-related challenges, addiction concerns and communication problems. She draws on approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to suit different needs. This gives a mix of thinking-focused and relationship-focused tools.
Her background includes counselling, psychotherapy and complementary practices such as yoga and meditation. That experience is used to introduce simple regulation exercises when they are useful alongside talk therapy. Niveen encourages clear goals and practical steps rather than abstract theory.
People are invited to bring the problems that matter now - whether that is feeling behind peers, coping with a relationship change, or managing workplace stress. The focus is on what can be done in daily life to reduce pressure and build easier ways of relating to self and others.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting driven by them and focus on meaningful action. It is often used for anxiety, avoidance and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour; it can help with intimacy problems, communication and trust. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the room, using listening and reflection to help people clarify what matters and make their own choices.Deciding which approach to use is usually a shared process. The therapist will talk about different methods, try things out and, together with the client, settle on what fits the goals and personality. This collaborative selection can change over time as needs evolve.
The therapist's profile does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into study, work or travel schedules, reduce time spent commuting and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. It also lets clients use regulation exercises or mindfulness practice in their usual surroundings. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt ACT, attachment work and client-centred techniques to an online setting and will discuss practical details and preferences at the first meeting.
