About Ishita
Ishita Sharma offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and low self esteem. She writes plainly and listens carefully to help people name what is happening and decide on practical next steps. Her style is grounded and compassionate, aimed at helping someone feel a little steadier between sessions.
She draws on seven years of experience working with victim-survivors and people dealing with difficult family and intimate relationships. Ishita comes from a culturally and linguistically diverse background, and that perspective shapes how she thinks about identity, culture and belonging in therapy. She aims to notice how cultural expectations affect choices and emotions.
Ishita uses a trauma-informed, relational and client-centred approach. That means she focuses on safety, builds trust slowly, and works with each person’s goals rather than applying a single method. Conversations tend to centre on identifying patterns, developing emotional regulation skills, and strengthening trust in oneself and others.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Ishita helps people try new ways of responding to stress and relationship challenges, then reviews what works. She also supports people to rebuild a sense of self-worth after painful experiences.
Her credential is AASW, the Australian Association of Social Workers, and she practises in Australia. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
Approaches that guide online work and decisions
Her practice is informed by trauma-aware and relational ways of working. A trauma-informed approach focuses on recognising the effects of past harm and slowing the pace so a person can feel less overwhelmed; it helps when someone is processing abuse or intense stress. A relational approach pays attention to how patterns show up between people and in relationships, helping clients notice interaction habits and try different responses.She also describes a client-centred way of working, which means sessions are shaped around a person’s immediate goals and preferences rather than a fixed protocol. Finding the right approach is treated as a joint task - the therapist and client review what helps and adjust the plan together as therapy continues.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact formats offered before booking as the profile does not list session types. Online work can make attending sessions easier to fit into busy days and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or phone-based sessions where a video call is not suitable. Appropriately qualified therapists aim to match the format and pace to each person’s needs so therapy can fit into everyday life.
