About Ishita
Ishita Sharma helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and low self esteem. She draws on seven years of clinical experience to offer calm, steady support. Ishita works in English and practices in Australia as an AASW social worker - AASW stands for the Australian Association of Social Workers.
She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for busy parents and carers.
How Ishita works
Ishita takes a trauma-informed and relational stance in sessions. She pays attention to how culture and identity shape feelings and relationships. Conversations focus on identifying patterns, making sense of emotional reactions, and building a clearer sense of self worth.
Sessions are collaborative rather than prescriptive, with space for reflection and for practical steps that fit daily life. People can expect a warm, non-judgemental presence and a steady focus on safety and emotional integrity. Ishita has experience supporting victim-survivors and those navigating difficult intimate and family relationships.
She aims to help people feel seen and understood while they work through painful memories and current relationship challenges. Therapy may include talking through painful events, practising ways to manage strong emotions, and exploring how cultural expectations affect choices. Ishita supports clients to rebuild trust in themselves and others while setting realistic goals for change.
Her approach balances emotional processing with practical strategies for coping. Sessions are offered online through video, phone, chat and messaging, which can suit different schedules and communication preferences. Ishita encourages a gradual pace and collaborative planning so each person can find what works best for them.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Ishita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people process trauma and rebuild relationships. One common approach she draws on is trauma-informed care, which focuses on understanding how past harm affects current feelings and reactions and on restoring a sense of safety and emotional regulation. Another strand of her work is relational therapy, which looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change unhelpful ways of relating to others and to themselves.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ishita works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. She starts with gentle listening, then adapts tools and exercises so clients can practise skills between sessions and track progress together.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make attendance easier. Video lets people read facial expression and tone, phone sessions use less bandwidth, chat can suit shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while still getting consistent support from an appropriately qualified therapist.
