About Sajeevani
Sajeevani Wijesena is an ACA counsellor with nine years of professional experience in Australia. She approaches each person with respect and sensitivity, and she works collaboratively to tailor support to individual needs.
Background and approach
Sajeevani aims to make starting therapy straightforward and affirms the courage it takes to seek help. Sajeevani focuses on everyday problems such as stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, workplace issues and addictions.
She also helps people who are coping with grief, relationship and family challenges, and major life changes. Her practice includes support for mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and for people facing chronic illness or caregiving strain.
Her style is person-centred and strengths based. She treats clients as the expert in their own life and helps them set practical goals.
Sessions can include insight, guidance and strategies to reduce distress and improve coping. Sajeevani uses a mix of therapeutic approaches to suit different needs.
These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-based ideas, client-centred methods and the Gottman Method for relationship work. She adapts tools from these approaches to match a person’s goals.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or messaging. Sajeevani works with people across a wide range of concerns and helps them build skills for lasting change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take small committed steps toward them. It helps with anxiety, stress and motivation by combining mindful awareness with practical action. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication patterns and emotional connection in relationships through structured exercises and problem-solving strategies. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current behaviours and helps people develop safer, more trusting ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sajeevani collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She tailors techniques from different approaches rather than using a single fixed method, and she checks in regularly to see what is helping.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for coaching and exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when hands-free or while on a break. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, paced reflection or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what works best.
