About Niveen

Niveen Rajabdeen is a clinical counsellor who focuses on practical tools to ease stress and improve relationships. She uses clear, down-to-earth conversation to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected. Her work often addresses anxiety, depression, grief, workplace stress and relationship strain.

With seven years of counselling experience and an ACA credential, Niveen draws on a range of approaches to meet each person's needs. She blends cognitive behavioural ideas with acceptance-based skills and attachment-informed work. Mindfulness, nervous system regulation and compassion practices are woven into sessions when helpful.

People come to her to manage life transitions, addiction concerns, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She also helps with career stress, self-esteem, anger and coping after loss. Niveen pays attention to how cultural identity and family patterns shape everyday reactions.

Her style is collaborative and warm. Sessions aim to build practical coping skills, clearer communication and steadier emotional regulation. Niveen encourages small, sustainable changes that fit daily life.

Outside the therapy room she draws on experience with yoga, meditation and wellbeing practices to support clients who want mind-body tools. She invites people to start where they are and work at a pace that feels manageable.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Niveen uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as part of her work. ACT helps people notice thoughts and focus on values-guided action rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and major life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and emotional bonds to help improve communication and intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Niveen works with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process where the client’s experience guides the choice of tools.

Ask about current online session options before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness or grounding exercises in the moment and bring work or home stressors directly into conversations, which can speed practical problem solving.
