Sangeeta Sharma, BACP

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Sangeeta uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people manage emotions and rebuild everyday coping. One approach involves identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and improve mood; it helps people notice thinking traps and try alternative ways of responding. Another common focus is building practical coping strategies for stress and grief, such as paced breathing, activity planning and small behavioural changes that make daily life feel more manageable.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals, try different ways of working and adjust the plan if something does not feel helpful. This collaborative process means the method can shift as needs change over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet without travel. Video calls let the session feel like face-to-face work. Phone sessions are useful when a quieter connection is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing support between calls, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
