About Sajeevani

Sajeevani Wijesena is an ACA counsellor with nine years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief and loss, low self-esteem, addictions and workplace problems. Sajeevani aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion from the first conversation.

Her approach is person-centred and strengths based. She treats the person as the expert in their own life and collaborates on practical goals. Sessions often focus on clear strategies, small steps and things people can try between meetings.

Sajeevani uses a mix of well-known therapies to suit individual needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify values and take manageable actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used for practical tools to change thinking and behaviour patterns. Attachment-informed work and client-centred methods shape how she builds trust and explores relationships.

She has supported people with a wide range of concerns including trauma, eating and body image issues, parenting stresses, chronic illness and caregiver strain. Sajeevani also works with career changes, anger, ADHD, bipolar and depression, and issues such as abandonment, communication problems and blended family challenges.

Her sessions are collaborative and tailored. Sajeevani offers insight, guidance and goal-setting while helping clients find strategies that fit their life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer on their values and take small, manageable steps toward them. It is useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes by focusing on meaningful action rather than perfect feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) gives practical tools to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours. It often helps with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and managing specific symptoms with structured tasks.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and reactions. It can support people dealing with abandonment, communication problems and relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has helped you before, then try methods that seem the best fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. 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 also makes it possible to continue work during life changes while keeping the focus on practical strategies and goals.
