About Gulnargis
Gulnargis Sharif is a counsellor with ten years of practice in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on helping people troubled by stress and anxiety. Her work also covers grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes.
She views each person as the expert on their own story. Sessions aim to build on a client’s existing strengths. Gulnargis encourages small, practical steps that feel doable in daily life.
Background and approach
Her approach is straightforward and warm. Conversations focus on understanding patterns that keep problems going and on trying new ways of responding. She pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame and unresolved attachment issues when these come up.
Gulnargis also supports people exploring forgiveness, life purpose and recovery after trauma. Conversations about grief and loss are paced to each person’s readiness. She helps people recognise progress even when change feels slow.
Sessions are offered in English and Urdu. Therapy is provided online through video calls, phone, live chat or messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Gulnargis draws on evidence-based techniques that help people make small, steady changes. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then testing different responses in everyday situations to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps people spot triggers and practise calmer ways of coping.Another approach she uses helps process difficult emotions like grief, guilt and shame by pacing conversations and allowing people to name and sit with feelings. This can make it easier to move forward and reconnect with purpose after loss or trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gulnargis will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then agree a collaborative plan. She checks in regularly and adapts methods if something is not helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need more flexible timing. These options make it easier to arrange therapy around work, family and daily life.
