Gulnargis Sharif, BACP

Gulnargis Sharif is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience and a BACP credential. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and major life changes. Her work also covers grief and loss, and supporting people through motivation and confidence challenges.

She approaches therapy as a collaboration, treating the person as the expert in their own life. Sessions aim to build on existing strengths and practical skills rather than relying on quick fixes. The tone in sessions is warm and straightforward, with an emphasis on making steady, achievable progress.

Gulnargis pays attention to relational patterns such as attachment issues and to painful emotions like guilt, shame and unresolved trauma. She also helps people reflect on life purpose and forgiveness when those themes come up. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on realistic steps they can try between sessions.

Her style suits people who want clear, compassionate support and simple strategies to manage symptoms day to day. She encourages small experiments and practical coping tools that fit into everyday life. The initial steps involve a short intake to understand current concerns and set sensible goals.

Gulnargis offers sessions in English and Urdu. Prospective clients are invited to begin by choosing the Start Therapy button and completing a brief matching questionnaire to arrange sessions according to her availability.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Gulnargis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding to stress and anxiety; it teaches skills for coping and for spotting patterns that keep problems going. Another approach looks at emotions like grief, guilt and shame and helps people make sense of those feelings, process hard experiences and find steps toward forgiveness or acceptance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels most helpful and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. That makes the work collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier. It can reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling, which is useful for people balancing work or family commitments. If a particular session format matters to you, confirm the current options before booking so you know what to expect. Many clients find the convenience helps them stay consistent with sessions and progress toward their goals.
