About Gulnargis

Gulnargis Sharif is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience and a BACP credential. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety and low mood. Her manner is encouraging and straightforward, aimed at people who are worried about taking the first step into therapy.

She works with grief and loss, and helps people rebuild motivation and self-esteem. Gulnargis also supports those coping with life changes and exploring life purpose.

02

How Gulnargis works

She addresses attachment issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress in therapy conversations. Sessions are conversational and practical. She treats the person as the expert on their own life and helps them notice their strengths.

Therapy sessions can include talking through difficult memories, testing out new ways of thinking, and trying small actions between meetings to see what helps. Gulnargis aims to create a calm, steady space where people can bring what matters most to them. She encourages realistic goals and small steps that build confidence.

Her tone is warm and non-judgemental while staying focused on what a person wants to change. If you are unsure where to start, she helps with clear first steps and simple strategies. The early sessions focus on what feels most urgent and practical.

From there she tailors the work to each person’s needs and pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Gulnargis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that keep anxiety and low mood going. This work often involves gentle experiments between sessions to test new ways of coping. Another approach centres on processing grief and distress by creating a safe space to talk about painful memories and gradually find ways to carry on with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. She collaborates with each person to decide what techniques fit their needs, goals and comfort level. Together they check progress and adapt the plan as things change.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and easier access from different locations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging lets someone write when speaking feels hard. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments and to try what works best for each person.
