Dr Praneeta Kooverji
Psychologist & Counsellor
Meet Dr Praneeta Kooverji
Dr Kooverji is a qualified psychologist and counsellor who joins The Good Place as a dedicated space-holder for deeper therapeutic support when it is needed.
With over 15 years of experience as a naturopathic practitioner, alongside her formal training in psychology and counselling, Praneeta brings a truly holistic approach to wellbeing — recognising the connection between mind, body, and emotional experience. Her work is rooted in the belief that people are not broken or in need of fixing, but rather in need of a safe, non-judgmental space to be seen, heard, and understood.
Her approach is gentle, grounded, and deeply compassionate. She works with clients to build self-awareness through creative and practical tools, offering coping skills and insight that support mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. Whether navigating anxiety, life transitions, or deeper emotional work, Praneeta meets each person where they are — with curiosity, care, and respect for their unique journey.
She is particularly passionate about working with women and children, supporting them to reconnect with their inherent strengths, gifts, and sense of self — without compromising who they are.
At The Good Place, Praneeta offers an additional layer of support for those who may need therapeutic intervention alongside coaching and creative exploration, ensuring that every client has access to the level of care that best supports them.
