About Sajeevani
Sajeevani Wijesena is an ACA counsellor with nine years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, and issues with motivation and self-esteem. Sajeevani aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space where clients can begin to untangle difficult moments.
She prefers a person-centred, strengths-based way of working and treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life. Conversations are tailored to each client, and she helps people set clear goals and practical steps that fit their situation. That can mean building new coping skills, thinking through relationship patterns, or finding strategies to manage everyday stress.
Sajeevani draws on several therapy approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy, among others. She uses these methods to guide discussions and to offer tools clients can try between sessions. Sessions are collaborative and aimed at helping people notice what matters most to them.
Her background includes supporting people with addictions, workplace bullying, eating concerns, ADHD and long-term health challenges. Sajeevani also lists coping with natural or human-caused disaster among areas she addresses. She adapts the pace and focus to each client’s needs and circumstances.
Beginning therapy can feel hard, and Sajeevani acknowledges that first step. She offers practical guidance, reflective listening and goal-focused discussion to help clients move forward at their own pace.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Sajeevani commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, committed steps toward them while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. CBT looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical skills to change them.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships affect current connections and communication. This can be useful for people noticing repeated relationship patterns or difficulty trusting others.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions often blend techniques so they match what someone needs at the time.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and travel, reduce commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when you schedule so sessions suit your routine and needs.
