Professional Counselor

Verified

“Hi, I’m Dr. Alice Preetha, a therapist, mindset coach, and counselor with a background in psychology, emotional intelligence, and leadership. My work combines science and compassion to help you find clarity, peace, and real tools for emotional balance.”

About Me

I am a Professional Counselor and Therapist based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, running a global practice. I hold a Professional Counseling and Consultant Psychologist life memberships, additionally I also hold APA (American Psychological Association) membership. I help people address anger, anxiety, stress and burnout, mood disorders, and abuse through coaching, psychology, and personal development.

Approach

My approach is integrative, evidence-based, and deeply client-centred. I combine psychological insight with practical tools to help clients understand their patterns, regulate emotions, and create lasting change. Each session is structured, calm, and personalised, with a focus on safety, clarity, and emotional grounding. I draw from a range of therapeutic frameworks, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based practices, inner-child work, and trauma-informed methods. This allows me to meet clients exactly where they are, whether they are struggling with anxiety, relationship distress, unresolved experiences, or a sense of emotional overwhelm. For couples, my work centres on communication, emotional attunement, conflict reduction, and rebuilding trust. For individuals, I help deepen self-awareness, strengthen emotional resilience, and create healthier patterns of thinking, relating, and responding. Across all my work, I aim to offer a grounded, non-judgmental space where clients feel understood and supported while building practical tools they can apply in daily life. My goal is to help clients move from survival and self-doubt toward clarity, connection, and emotional strength.
