About Advaitha

Advaitha Sriramaneni is an ACA counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She has three years of professional experience in community, employment and private practice settings. Her background includes work in trauma, rehabilitation and psychosocial support.

She aims to create a warm, person-centred space where clients feel heard and understood. Building trust and recognising individual strengths are central to her way of working. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between appointments.

Advaitha draws on several evidence-informed approaches. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. She tailors techniques to each person rather than using a single method.

She often supports people during major life transitions and after difficult events. That can mean working on coping skills, building confidence or improving day-to-day functioning. Advaitha aims to help clients move toward greater independence in personal, social and work life.

Her style is trauma-aware and focused on practical change. People who prefer a collaborative counsellor who offers clear strategies and steady support may find her approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches work online and in sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, and then practising different ways of responding to reduce symptoms. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) emphasises emotion regulation, distress tolerance and relationship skills, useful for strong emotions and interpersonal conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Techniques may be blended so the plan fits the individual's needs rather than sticking to one model.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during breaks or between commitments. It can also allow shorter or longer sessions depending on what suits the person and their routine.
