Advaitha Sriramaneni

Advaitha Sriramaneni is an ACA counsellor who has spent the past three years supporting people through tough life moments. She works with adults and young people in community, employment and private practice settings. Her background covers mental health, trauma, rehabilitation, grief and family and domestic violence.

Advaitha keeps therapy straightforward and practical. She aims to build trust quickly and to find individual strengths clients can use. Sessions focus on clear strategies for coping, problem solving and gradual change.

Her style is warm and person-centred with attention to trauma-informed care. She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to manage emotions and reduce unhelpful thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques also feature in sessions when they fit the client’s goals.

Advaitha often helps people during periods of transition and adjustment. That includes grief, changes after injury, career shifts, and recovering from relationship harm. She supports practical steps for building confidence, resilience and independence.

She also offers help for concerns like stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and ADHD-related challenges. Sessions are focused on what will work day to day and on making progress that feels manageable.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then commit to small actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and for managing anger by focusing on meaningful behaviour rather than trying to stop thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings and actions; sessions often teach practical skills for changing unhelpful thinking and building new habits. This approach suits stress, worry and mood concerns where skill practice is helpful. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, and it can support people dealing with strong anger or relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust the plan as required in a collaborative way.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy through life transitions or when moving between regions. Appropriately qualified therapists adapt exercises, worksheets and mindfulness practices to work well over distance and help clients turn insights into everyday action.
