About
Niveen Rajabdeen is a clinical counsellor, psychotherapist, and clinical supervisor who supports individuals, couples, and families through anxiety, stress, burnout, trauma, relationship concerns, family dynamics, and major life transitions. She brings experience across mental health, counselling, psychotherapy, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and wellbeing, offering support to people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected as they try to navigate what life is asking of them.
Her work commonly includes anxiety and depression, workplace stress, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, trauma, cultural identity concerns, and periods of significant change. Niveen’s style is warm and collaborative, with care tailored to the person in front of her rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. She draws from evidence-based counselling and psychotherapy approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with schema-based and narrative-informed work, mindfulness, and trauma-informed practice to help clients build insight, strengthen relationships, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.
When it fits the client’s needs, she also integrates mindfulness and nervous system regulation strategies, acknowledging the close connection between mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. With a background that includes counselling, psychotherapy, Ayurveda, yoga, and meditation, she supports clients in developing self-awareness, resilience, and a greater sense of balance. Niveen aims to create a space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered, whether they are facing a current challenge or wanting to better understand themselves and their relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Niveen Rajabdeen draws on evidence-based approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then practice practical ways to respond differently - often useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and day-to-day coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on building psychological flexibility by making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward values-based goals, which can support people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or navigating life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy can be especially helpful for relationship and family concerns by exploring how early bonding patterns may shape connection, communication, and trust in the present.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Niveen works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what has or has not worked before, and what feels most comfortable, then adjusts the pace and tools to match their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, or choose live chat and text-based messaging when a written format feels easier. Having multiple ways to connect can make it simpler to fit support into a busy schedule and stay engaged between sessions.
