About Aakansha

Aakansha Sharma is a counsellor with nine years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and trauma. She works in the United Kingdom and sees people in English and Hindi. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and completed a Master in Guidance and Counselling, followed by a MSc in Child and Adolescent Mental Health.

She is a BACP member. Aakansha uses straightforward, conversation-based sessions to help people understand what they are feeling.

Background and approach

She pays attention to how thoughts and actions link together and supports practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. She also focuses on clients' strengths, helping them notice and build on what works. Her work includes helping people manage grief, depression, addictions and anger.

She supports those coping with intimacy-related issues, family strain, career pressures, ADHD and sudden life changes. She also offers help for attachment and abandonment concerns, isolation and issues around communication and commitment. Sessions may draw on cognitive behavioural ideas to challenge negative thinking and on mindfulness practices to reduce stress.

She can use eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing alongside approaches that centre the client's experience when that fits the person's needs. The choices are made with the client rather than imposed. Aakansha has experience delivering drug intervention and youth workshops and has worked in counselling centres and education settings.

She has worked with people impacted by domestic violence and substance misuse, and with those facing custody-related difficulties. Her background includes clinical placements and targeted work with younger clients. People who meet her can expect calm, patient listening and a practical, step-by-step focus on change.

Sessions aim to be collaborative, with simple tools and ideas to try between meetings.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Aakansha often uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT offers clear exercises and homework that translate well to online sessions and can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

She also draws on eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing as an option for people processing traumatic memories. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and can be adapted for remote delivery when it suits the client's pace and comfort.

Finding the right fit is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and suggest approaches to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what feels manageable for the person.

Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Video gives face-to-face interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for short check-ins, and messaging allows brief updates between meetings. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
