About Sajeevani
Sajeevani Wijesena is an ACA counsellor with nine years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. Sajeevani also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem and workplace problems including bullying.
Her approach is person-centred and strengths based. She treats people with respect, sensitivity and compassion and shapes sessions around each person’s needs. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical strategies and a plan that fits their situation.
Sajeevani uses a mix of evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred work to help people understand patterns and build new ways of relating. When relevant, she uses Gottman Method principles to address communication and relationship patterns.
She helps people set realistic goals and develop workable strategies. That might mean focusing on coping skills for anxiety, clearer communication in relationships, or practical steps to improve self-esteem. Sajeevani aims to work collaboratively so people feel in charge of their progress.
People come for help with a wide range of issues beyond the core areas. These include ADHD, addictions, compassion fatigue, body image, blended family issues, chronic illness and separation. She invites people to take the first step and complete the short intake questionnaire to begin the matching process.
How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and focuses on practical techniques to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating formed in close relationships and can help when attachment issues or communication problems cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sajeevani will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. The first sessions usually involve talking about what matters most and agreeing on a plan to try during therapy, with adjustments along the way.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. In general, online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone choose a quieter setting or use audio-only sessions if video is difficult. Ask about current options so sessions line up with your routine and technology.
