Niveen Rajabdeen is a therapist based in Australia who brings seven years of professional experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, depression, addictions, trauma and grief. She places emphasis on a collaborative, person-focused approach that adapts to each client’s needs and goals, creating space for people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected or are navigating life transitions.

Niveen works with a broad range of concerns including self-esteem and intimacy-related issues, anger and career difficulties, coping with change, compassion fatigue and ADHD, alongside more specific focuses such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency and body image. Her practice also addresses trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and issues related to commitment and communication within relationships.

She draws on established clinical approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients build insight, strengthen relationships and develop practical coping strategies. Niveen holds the ACA credential and offers tailored support through a warm, grounded style aimed at helping people find clearer direction and greater balance in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Niveen integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work to help clients clarify what matters most to them and develop flexible strategies for accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that align with their values. ACT is often helpful for anxiety, stress and life transitions.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, which can be useful for addressing intimacy concerns, attachment difficulties and relationship conflicts. In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with more adaptive skills for mood, anxiety and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Niveen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what feels most helpful and adjust the approach over time.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging offer flexible ways to engage in care from different locations and at varied times. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and other commitments, while allowing therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care and focus on building practical skills and relational change.
