About Niveen
Niveen Rajabdeen is an ACA counsellor with seven years' experience working in Australia. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, depression, grief, addictions and anger. Her work also covers career changes, ADHD, compassion fatigue and coping with major life transitions.
Niveen listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning. She helps people notice patterns in thinking and behaviour that increase frustration or disconnection. Sessions include practical strategies to manage strong feelings, reduce reactivity, and improve communication with others.
Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment-Based Therapy. She also integrates client-centred conversation and mindfulness practices to support nervous system regulation and emotional awareness.
Niveen often works with relationship issues and family dynamics by helping clients map interaction patterns and practise different responses. For people coping with trauma or burnout she uses grounding and regulation techniques alongside therapeutic conversation. The focus is on small, repeatable actions that make daily life feel more manageable.
Practical matters such as scheduling and session format are handled through the service booking flow. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. This helps clarify goals and the best way to proceed.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, and taking actions that matter. It helps people live alongside difficult feelings rather than getting stuck trying to eliminate them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in relationships and helps people name feelings and respond differently to partners or family members.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That might mean using ACT strategies for distress tolerance, CBT for thinking patterns, or EFT for relationship work, and adjusting as progress is made.
The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and remove the need to travel. It also supports using mindfulness exercises or worksheets during a session and practising communication skills in real time.
