About Ishita
AASW social worker with seven years' experience, Ishita Sharma supports people in Australia dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She works from a trauma-informed, relational and client-centred stance and draws on her culturally and linguistically diverse background to inform her practice.
Ishita focuses on helping people understand patterns that shape how they relate to others and to themselves. She talks through relationship difficulties and the effects of cultural expectations in clear, direct language. Practical steps and small behaviour changes are used alongside emotional processing.
Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the individual and to rebuild trust in their own judgement. Ishita pays attention to how past experiences, including trauma, influence present reactions and decision-making. She helps people name those influences and practise new responses in day-to-day life.
Her approach is collaborative; she works with clients to set goals and decide which techniques to try. Expectations are reviewed as work progresses so adjustments can be made when something is not helping.
Ishita’s background and lived experience inform how she understands culture, identity and family dynamics. She speaks English and combines that perspective with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support clearer thinking and steadier relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Her stated approach is trauma-informed care, which focuses on recognising how past traumatic events affect current feelings and behaviour. This helps people who struggle with intrusive memories, hypervigilance, relationship difficulties and emotional flashbacks by naming those patterns and developing coping responses.She also uses a relational, client-centred method that concentrates on interactions and the therapeutic relationship itself. That work helps people understand how they connect with others, practise different ways of relating, and rebuild trust in themselves and in relationships.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client which techniques suit their goals, needs and preferences. Adjustments are made if something feels unhelpful so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Confirm the current session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific online delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and offer shorter check-ins when that is useful. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can help on busy days. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without committing to a particular session type.
