About Niveen

Niveen Rajabdeen is an ACA counsellor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, relationship strain and major life changes. She describes a warm, collaborative style and aims to create a space where people feel heard and supported. Her work draws on psychotherapy, counselling and mindfulness to help people make practical changes.

She commonly supports those feeling overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected. Typical concerns include anxiety, depression, workplace stress, grief and loss, trauma and relationship difficulties. She also offers help with family dynamics, cultural identity questions, compassion fatigue and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.

Niveen blends talking therapies with nervous system regulation and mindfulness practices. Sessions can include reflection on relationship patterns, learning emotion regulation skills, and grounding or breath-based strategies. The goal is to build insight and day-to-day tools that people can use outside sessions.

Her background spans counselling, psychotherapy, Ayurveda, yoga and meditation. That variety informs a flexible approach - she adapts techniques to suit each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

People often come for short-term help with a specific problem or for longer work on patterns that keep recurring. Niveen aims to support realistic, step-by-step changes so people can feel more resilient and connected in their daily lives.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small committed steps towards those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing new ways of responding, which is helpful for anxiety, depression and workplace stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current responses, which can help with intimacy issues and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and choose together based on the person’s goals, preferences and what’s been most helpful so far. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted if something isn’t working.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life, reduce travel, and allow follow-up or brief check-ins between in-person appointments when appropriate. It also lets people try approaches like ACT exercises, CBT worksheets or attachment-focused conversations in the environment where they live, so skills can be practiced in everyday settings.
