About Niveen
Niveen Rajabdeen is an ACA counsellor with seven years of clinical practice in Australia. She specialises in anxiety, stress, burnout, trauma, relationships and life transitions. People come to her when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected or unsure how to move forward.
Niveen works with a range of concerns including depression, grief, workplace stress, relationship difficulties and cultural identity issues. She also supports people dealing with addiction, intimacy-related issues, anger, career change and compassion fatigue. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image and caregiver stress.
Her approach blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. In sessions she helps people name hard emotions, notice unhelpful patterns and try practical steps to change what isn’t working. Mindfulness and nervous system regulation are often used alongside talking work.
Niveen describes therapy as collaborative. She listens for what matters most to each person and adjusts the work accordingly. That can mean short-term problem focus or deeper exploration of relationship patterns and personal history.
She brings additional experience from psychotherapy, Ayurveda, yoga and meditation into the therapeutic setting when appropriate. People who prefer clear, practical steps alongside emotional exploration often find this mix useful.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name difficult emotions and the patterns those emotions create in relationships. It is often used when attachment, closeness and repeating relationship cycles are the main concerns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and small actions that move life forward despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress and situations where people want clearer direction about what matters to them.
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship experiences shape current expectations and reactions. That approach can help with abandonment concerns, codependency and commitment issues by naming patterns and trying new responses.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Niveen will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether EFT, ACT, attachment ideas or a combination is most helpful for the person’s situation.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while they work on emotions, relationships and behaviour change.
