Sajeevani Wijesena, ACA

Sajeevani Wijesena is an ACA counsellor with nine years of professional experience in Australia. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship difficulties. Sajeevani aims to make the first step feel manageable and encouraging. Her work is person-centred and strengths-based. She treats people with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and she tailors conversations to each person's needs. Sessions often focus on identifying practical goals and finding strategies that suit everyday life. Sajeevani uses a mix of approaches to match what each client needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to address unhelpful thinking and actions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice values and take steps towards them. She has worked with a wide range of concerns, including grief, addiction, workplace bullying, body image and parenting stress. Sajeevani also supports people living with chronic illness, codependency and attachment-related difficulties. Her background includes helping people cope with life changes and compassion fatigue. In sessions she offers insight and collaborative problem solving rather than one-size-fits-all prescriptions. You will work together to set clear goals and test strategies that feel realistic. If you are ready to begin, she encourages taking that first step and will guide the process. If you would like to explore whether she is a good match, select the Start Therapy option and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while identifying what matters to you. It helps people take small steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment‑Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connections and can help with trust and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with you and choose methods based on your needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative so you can give feedback about what feels useful as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. It also lets people try different approaches from familiar settings while working with an appropriately qualified therapist to tailor the work to everyday life.
