Mridula Sharma , AHPRA

Mridula Sharma is an AHPRA-registered counsellor who has spent four years helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She values each person's strengths and treats clients as the expert in their own story. Taking that first step can feel daunting, and she aims to make the process straightforward and compassionate.

Her sessions focus on practical ways to build confidence and better day-to-day coping. She listens for patterns that feed low mood, worry or unhelpful relationship cycles. Then she works with clients to try small, manageable changes that make life feel steadier.

Mridula also supports people through major life changes and decisions. This includes separation, midlife transitions and adjusting to chronic illness or caregiving demands. She pays attention to feelings of abandonment, shame or isolation and helps people name what is happening and decide what to do next.

Conversations in therapy cover communication, setting boundaries, dealing with control or impulsivity, and rethinking life purpose. She can also support work on body image, forgiveness, and rebuilding self-esteem after loss. Sessions are offered in English and Hindi for people living in Australia.

Her style is warm and practical. Clients can expect a calm space to talk, clear ideas to try between sessions, and collaborative planning that suits their life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Mridula uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the person's needs. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced ways of thinking; this can reduce anxiety and low mood and make daily coping easier. Another approach focuses on improving relationships and communication by identifying patterns in how people attach to others and by practising clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will listen to your goals, discuss different ways of working, and together you will decide which techniques to try first. Adjustments are made as progress or obstacles become clear, so the plan fits your life and preferences.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations when visual cues help, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit around work, family and health demands.
