Background and approach

She adapts conversations to suit each person's needs and preferences. Her work often addresses relationship and family concerns, grief and low self-esteem. Sajeevani also helps with addictions, workplace problems including bullying, and coping with chronic illness or caregiver stress.

She is experienced supporting people through changes like separation, career shifts and major losses. Therapeutic tools she draws on include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, attachment-informed work and client-centred methods. These approaches help people manage anxious thoughts, improve communication, and set small achievable goals.

Sessions aim to build practical skills and a clearer sense of direction. Sajeevani explains options simply and helps clients try things that fit their daily life. She encourages small steps and recognises each person's courage in seeking support.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people choose actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and build a clearer sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches small experiments to test different ways of coping. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connections and communication, which is useful for relationship worries and patterns of avoidance or emotional distance.

Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what has or hasn't worked before. Together you will try methods and adjust them as needed so the plan fits your life and priorities.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit in. Video lets you have a face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be simpler if you have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to use voice or video. These options provide flexibility so therapy can continue around work, family and other commitments.
