About Advaitha

Advaitha Sriramaneni is an ACA counsellor with three years of experience in Australia. She has worked across mental health, trauma, rehabilitation, grief and loss, and domestic violence settings. Her practice supports adults navigating stress, anxiety, relationship strain and anger among other concerns.

She has provided counselling in community, employment and private practice environments. That has included short-term help and longer-term one-to-one work. She draws on approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods.

In sessions she focuses on building trust and identifying a person’s strengths. She helps clients notice patterns that feed frustration or resentment. She also works on practical skills for managing strong feelings and for clearer communication with others.

Advaitha pays attention to how past trauma or adjustment to injury can affect everyday emotions. She uses trauma-informed ideas while keeping the work oriented to current problems. Clients may work on grief, self-esteem, or difficulties with sleep and eating as concrete targets.

She often frames change as a set of small, actionable steps. That can mean learning a new coping skill, changing a reaction at work, or planning calmer conversations at home. Sessions are conversational and task-focused, with tools to practise between meetings.

Sessions are available in English and Telugu. For people who want to try counselling online, the site’s booking flow is the way to see current session options and schedule a first meeting.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small steps towards them while learning to sit with difficult feelings. ACT can be useful when anger comes from ongoing frustration or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches specific exercises to test and reframe unhelpful thinking that fuels irritation or resentment. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and better interpersonal effectiveness to reduce reactive responses.

Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to the client’s goals, preferences and daily demands. That might mean beginning with skills training, then moving to values work or brief problem-solving depending on progress.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone join without commuting. The focus is on practical tools you can use between meetings and on adapting the work to how you live each day.
