About Niveen
Niveen Rajabdeen is an ACA counsellor with seven years' experience working in Australia. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, self‑esteem issues, depression, addictions, trauma and grief. She also helps with intimacy and anger issues, career changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles.
Niveen writes plainly with adults who are juggling family life in mind. She listens for what is causing daily strain and helps people name the problem. Sessions focus on practical steps - improving communication, managing intense feelings, and finding ways to cope when life feels overwhelming.
Her background includes counselling, psychotherapy and practices such as yoga and meditation. Those perspectives inform breathing and nervous‑system regulation techniques she may use alongside talking work. She draws on approaches like CBT, acceptance and commitment work, attachment-based methods and emotionally focused ideas to address relationships and personal patterns.
When someone brings family stress, she pays attention to interaction patterns and emotional responses. For relationship concerns she helps identify repeated cycles and offers techniques to change them. For grief or trauma she combines stabilising practices with reflective talk to help people move through difficult material at a pace they can manage.
Practical matters are part of the work. Niveen helps people build habits they can use between sessions. She encourages clear goals and simple tools so progress can be noticed in everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating affect current relationships and helps people try new ways of connecting and responding when under stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as sessions progress.
The original biography did not list specific online formats, so please confirm session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy family life, allow shorter check‑in appointments when needed, and reduce travel time. Techniques such as breathing exercises, behavioural experiments and communication practice translate well to remote sessions, and the therapist will adapt exercises so they suit the client’s day-to-day routine.
