About Advaitha

Advaitha Sriramaneni is an ACA counsellor with three years' experience in Australia. She has worked in mental health, rehabilitation and private practice settings and provides short-term and longer-term individual counselling. Her work covers grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, anxiety, depression and stress among other issues.

Advaitha has supported people through adjustment to injury and periods of big change. She has experience with family and domestic violence contexts and offers psychosocial support to those coping with loss or chronic illness. Her background includes working with young people and adults across community and employment services.

Her style is person-centred and trauma-informed. She focuses on building trust and on identifying individual strengths. Sessions emphasise practical strategies clients can use between meetings to manage strong emotions and everyday pressures.

Advaitha draws on a mix of clinically informed approaches. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Mindfulness techniques as relevant to the concern. She also integrates motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when useful.

Typical sessions involve talking through current difficulties, noticing emotional patterns, and practising skills for coping and communication. She helps clients set concrete goals for change and reviews progress over time. Sessions are delivered in English and Telugu depending on client preference.

Clients who wish to start can follow the site process to match with her and arrange an initial session. Costs vary with location and are handled via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches used in online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how emotions affect relationships and recurring patterns. It helps people name hard-to-reach feelings and notice the interaction habits that keep problems going.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to be present with difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and when choices feel blocked.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It includes skills for changing unhelpful thinking and building better daily routines for mood and sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and review how they are working as therapy proceeds.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, study and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins that fit into a busy day. Ask about session length and any technical needs when you arrange the first meeting.
