How Sajeevani works

Sessions can include insight, practical strategies or step-by-step plans, depending on what will help most. People come to her for a wide range of concerns. These include relationship and family strain, grief and loss, confidence and self-esteem, addictions, work stress and bullying, and coping with illness or caregiving responsibilities.

Sajeevani also supports people facing challenges such as body image, commitment worries, communication problems and anger. Her approach draws on acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment ideas, cognitive behavioural tools and client-centred listening. She adapts her style to match each person’s needs and preferences.

The focus is on small, achievable changes that add up over time. Beginning therapy can feel hard, and Sajeevani aims to make the first steps straightforward. She helps people identify priorities, choose strategies and track progress.

The work is collaborative and paced to suit each client.

Online support options

Approaches suited to online therapy and how they work

Sajeevani often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in online work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help when people face trust, closeness or abandonment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sajeevani works together with clients to test what helps most and adjusts methods based on goals and preferences. Clients set priorities and the plan evolves with regular check-ins to see what is working.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works well for brief check-ins or when writing is helpful. These options let people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while accessing appropriately qualified therapists from different locations.
