Sajeevani Wijesena, ACA

Sajeevani Wijesena is an ACA counsellor with nine years' experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She focuses on practical conversations that help people manage stress, anxiety and changes such as grief or relationship strain. Her tone is respectful and down to earth, and she aims to make the first step feel achievable for anyone who is nervous about starting therapy.

She uses a person-centred, strengths-based approach that treats clients as the experts on their own lives. That means sessions are shaped around each person's priorities, whether the focus is building confidence, addressing addictions, or managing workplace bullying. Sajeevani offers guidance, insight and goal-setting to help people move forward.

Her work also covers a wide range of concerns including parenting challenges, family conflict, eating issues, bipolar and depression, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Sajeevani pays attention to attachment and abandonment wounds when these affect relationships and behaviour. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress and the fallout from separation or divorce.

Therapy sessions combine conversational listening with practical strategies drawn from several approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. Sajeevani will help you set realistic steps and test what works in daily life. If you want clear, collaborative help during a tough season, she will work alongside you to find useful ways forward.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action, helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and make choices that fit their priorities. It is useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional patterns, and can help when abandonment or attachment issues get in the way of connection and trust. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work, using empathic listening and collaboration to build confidence and clarify goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with you to decide which methods and techniques fit your needs and preferences. That collaborative process means goals and strategies are adapted as you learn what helps most.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also help people who prefer not to use video by making it simpler to choose an audio-only session where that option is offered. Discuss practical preferences and constraints with the therapist to find a workable arrangement.
