Advaitha Sriramaneni, ACA

Advaitha Sriramaneni is an ACA counsellor who has worked across mental health, trauma and rehabilitation settings. She brings three years of clinical experience supporting people through loss, injury adjustment and domestic violence impacts. Her background includes community, employment and private practice contexts, and she offers both short-term and longer-term individual counselling.

Her style is warm and person-centred. She focuses on building trust and understanding each persons strengths. Sessions aim to surface practical strategies that help people make meaningful changes in daily life.

Advaitha uses a mix of evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. She adapts tools to suit different stressors such as anxiety, grief, depression, addiction and compassion fatigue.

She pays particular attention to transitions and midlife changes, helping people manage shifting roles, career concerns and life direction questions. She also supports challenges around attachment, intimacy-related issues, relationship stress and communication problems.

Sessions are practical and straightforward. Clients can expect to develop coping skills for sleep, eating, anger and ADHD-related difficulties, as well as strategies for chronic illness, caregiver stress and bereavement. The aim is greater confidence, resilience and independence in personal and vocational life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action aligned with those values, while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for life transitions, anxiety and low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, self-esteem and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Advaitha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best fit their goals, preferences and situation. That choice can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue work through transitional periods or when juggling health and caregiving demands. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt ACT, CBT and DBT tools for remote sessions to focus on real-life practice and skill-building.
