About Aakansha
Aakansha Sharma is a counsellor with nine years of experience. She trained in psychology and went on to study guidance and counselling, then completed a master’s in child and adolescent mental health. Aakansha describes herself as patient, empathetic and a good listener.
She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and change the thoughts that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
She also draws on client-centred ways of working to help people spot their strengths and set practical goals. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and mindfulness techniques are part of her wider approach when they suit the person. Her background includes roles in counselling services and work running drug intervention and youth workshops.
She has experience supporting people with addiction, trauma and domestic issues, and has worked with people presenting with anger, grief and self-esteem difficulties. Her training and placements included work in institutions and community services. Aakansha is a BACP member, which reflects her professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She offers sessions in English and Hindi and can work with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. People who prefer a calm, listening approach alongside practical skills often find her style helpful. She aims to join clear steps to change with time to talk through difficult feelings and events.
Sessions can include short-term focused work or longer conversations depending on what a person needs.

Online support
She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, building trust and helping people identify their own strengths and goals. That approach suits people who want a supportive space to make sense of feelings and to set simple, achievable steps forward.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels useful and adapt methods over time, combining listening with skills practice when needed. Goals, comfort and preference guide which techniques are used.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and text or chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit around work, family and travel commitments.
