More about Sharmi

I am an accredited and certified Trauma Therapist in the UK with 18 years of professional work experience in the mental health sector. I am trained to doctorate level in psychology, however I have undertaken a wide range of additional training in the field of trauma. I offer specialist therapeutic service for young people, families, couples and adults, both nationally and worldwide.
I have experience in helping clients with a wide range of mental health struggles, but my specialism is in working with individuals of all ages who have experienced trauma, including, abuse, neglect, domestic violence, PTSD/C-PTSD/complex trauma, developmental trauma, loss, attachment difficulties/attachment disorder and therapeutic parenting.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts, feelings and triggers can be explored gently and shared without fear of judgment. My service is dedicated to help those who have had a difficult childhood, life traumas, and for anyone suffering from PTSD or C-PTSD. You might have gone through abuse (physical, emotional or sexual) or neglect (physical or emotional).
You may be someone who already had counselling or therapy in the past, but still feel unfulfilled and think that something is missing in terms of healing. I believe that my specialisms in working with abuse, neglect, trauma and attachment issues can benefit your healing journey. This will be Trauma-Informed and Trauma-Sensitive Therapy using specialist therapeutic approaches, including both body-based and brain-based approaches to post-traumatic recovery and growth. This also involves working on implicit memories (body memories) and subconscious or unconscious memories (covert and overt triggers).
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
