About Sajeevani
Sajeevani Wijesena is an ACA counsellor with nine years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain and family conflict. Sajeevani also supports those facing grief, loss, low self-esteem and challenges with motivation.
Her approach is person-centred and strengths based. She treats people with respect, sensitivity and compassion and tailors conversations to each person’s needs. Sajeevani aims to help clients set clear goals and find practical strategies that fit their life.
She draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship and connection issues are involved. The Gottman method is part of her toolkit for relationship work when relevant.
Sajeevani can offer insight and guidance or a more hands-on plan depending on what a person needs. She values collaborative work and sees clients as experts in their own lives. That means sessions focus on solutions that feel realistic and manageable.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Sajeevani acknowledges that courage. She supports people through early steps and goal setting so they can build momentum and notice change over time.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps. It can help people who feel stuck by building a clear sense of what matters and practical actions aligned with those values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches simple skills to test unhelpful thinking and change behaviour. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in relationships and how early connection shapes current reactions; it can help with trust, communication and closeness issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and life circumstances and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can be reviewed as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try a therapist without rearranging a whole day. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt ACT, CBT and attachment-based techniques to work well in online conversation and focused exercises.
