About Nalini

Nalini Sharma is an Australian therapist with eight years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem. She works with a wide range of concerns including attachment issues, body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, and workplace stresses, tailoring conversations and interventions to each person’s unique circumstances.

Nalini brings a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate approach to therapy, helping clients explore emotional patterns and develop practical strategies for change. She draws on evidence-informed methods to support recovery from mood disorders, impulsivity, social anxiety and phobia, and to address feelings of guilt, shame, and difficulties with forgiveness or self-love.

Credentialed with ACA and PACFA, Nalini holds professional recognition from established Australian counselling and psychotherapy associations. Her practice emphasizes collaborative care - listening closely, setting clear goals with clients, and adapting techniques to match individual needs and preferences. Taking the first step toward therapy is often challenging, and Nalini acknowledges the courage it takes to begin that process and to seek support.

Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Nalini commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Client-Centered Therapy into her online work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify personal values and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with what matters most - useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. CBT targets the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, offering concrete skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, mood disorders, and problematic coping patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a nonjudgmental relationship, creating a supportive space for clients to explore identity, relationships, and self-esteem concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey; Nalini works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Nalini can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and fit therapy into busy lives while working with a licensed professional aligned to the client’s needs.
