About Shilpi
Shilpi Sharma is an ACA counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people find clearer ways forward. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, anger and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Hindi and delivered online through video, phone, chat or text.
Shilpi draws on several evidence-based methods to tailor sessions to each person's needs. She creates a calm space for people to talk through painful feelings and confusing choices.
How Shilpi works
Practical tools and small experiments are introduced so people can try different ways of coping between sessions. Her approach pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that affect relationships. She helps people unpack how past wounds shape current reactions and offers ways to manage impulsivity, guilt and shame.
When relationship breakdown or separation is part of the picture, she helps clarify priorities and next steps. Shilpi also supports people facing substance use concerns and those affected by domestic violence, focusing on safety, coping strategies and decision-making. Work on self-love and forgiveness is offered alongside skill-building for anger and stress management.
With three years of experience, she aims for straightforward, practical support rather than jargon. The first sessions typically focus on what matters most now and on clear, manageable goals. People who choose to work with her complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions through the site's booking process.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Shilpi commonly uses structured cognitive approaches and relational methods to address emotional and interpersonal problems. Cognitive-style work helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, test those thoughts and try new responses; this is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Relational or attachment-focused techniques look at how early patterns influence current relationships and communication, helping people change how they connect with others.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaboration. The therapist will talk about options, try techniques together and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. Goals, preferences and practical needs guide which methods are emphasised during sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to access this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be quicker to join and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, journalling tasks or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
