Shallu Singh , AASW

Shallu Singh is an AASW counsellor based in Australia who supports people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strains, and issues related to trauma and abuse. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to help clients feel heard and understood. Shallu often helps people who are struggling with self-esteem, depression, anger or family problems.

Her approach is collaborative. She talks with clients about goals and uses practical steps to build clarity and emotional coping. Sessions focus on real-life changes - learning new ways to manage strong feelings, improving communication, and working through past hurts.

Shallu draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and cognitive behavioural techniques. She adapts methods to suit each person's needs and cultural background, and she can work in English, Hindi or Punjabi.

With three years of professional experience, she has supported people through parenting challenges, postpartum depression and issues around migration and multicultural adjustment. She also helps those affected by sexual assault, domestic violence and post-traumatic stress.

Shallu encourages small, steady steps rather than quick fixes. Her style is gentle but practical, aiming to help clients feel more able to cope and to make choices that match their values and priorities.

Therapeutic approaches offered online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotion regulation; it can support people working through family conflict, relationship patterns and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and life situation and decide together which methods to use. This collaborative process means the plan can change if something isn’t helping.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit short check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options help people fit sessions around work, caregiving or other commitments.
