About Nalini
Nalini Sharma is an ACA and PACFA counsellor with eight years of professional experience in Australia. She works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, addictions and struggles with self-esteem. Nalini also addresses guilt and shame alongside related concerns such as attachment issues and body image.
She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Conversations focus on what is happening now and practical ways to respond. Nalini uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice painful thoughts and choose the actions that matter to them.
Nalini blends client-centred listening with skills-based strategies. That can mean learning short grounding techniques, testing unhelpful thoughts, or practising small behaviour changes between sessions. She also works with communication problems, workplace stress and impulse-related concerns when they connect to a person's emotional life.
Her work includes attention to forgiveness, self-love and repairing the way people relate to themselves after mistakes. Sessions aim to be clear and steady rather than full of jargon. Nalini invites practical steps that fit into everyday life.
People often come to talk about guilt or shame tied to relationships, family history or choices they regret. Nalini supports them in untangling those feelings and finding ways to act in line with their values. The focus is on workable strategies and building moments of relief in day-to-day routines.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It suits issues like guilt, shame and anxiety where decisions about behaviour matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, mood and workplace stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of emotions and urges.Finding the right mix of methods is part of how Nalini works. She will help clients together assess which approaches suit their goals and preferences. That means trying practical skills, checking what helps between sessions, and adjusting the plan if something isn’t fitting.
The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it practical to practise skills in everyday settings and then discuss how they went at the next session.
