About Sajeevani
Sajeevani Wijesena is an ACA counsellor with nine years of professional experience in Australia. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress and relationship strain. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, aimed at practical steps rather than jargon.
She often encourages small, achievable changes that make daily life easier. She works collaboratively and treats each person as the expert in their own life. Conversations are tailored to what matters most to the client, whether that is managing grief, improving self-esteem, or handling workplace stress like bullying.
Background and approach
Sajeevani can offer insight, ask useful questions and help clients set clear goals. Sajeevani draws on evidence-informed methods such as acceptance and commitment ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. She also uses client-centred and attachment-based thinking to build trust and safety in the work.
The focus is on finding strategies that fit the person’s real life and values. Her experience includes supporting people facing addictions, eating concerns, parenting stress and compassion fatigue. She also helps with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues and blended family dynamics.
Sajeevani pays attention to the practical effects of chronic illness, caregiving strain and life transitions. Conversations with her aim to be straightforward and compassionate. She helps people clarify what they want to change and then maps out simple steps to get there.
For many, that makes the next day feel more manageable.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values; it often helps with anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns, which can aid depression, anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions and can help with abandonment, attachment issues and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sajeevani will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. The process is collaborative and may combine techniques so clients learn tools that suit their lives.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can be easier when hands-free or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter sessions or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week and keep momentum between sessions.
