Welcome to my profile, I am a couples and individual Psychotherapist, with an emphatic and holistic approach. I have been in practice for the past 7 years, with a total of over 100 hours of client work, specialising in anxiety, depression , trauma, addictions and deeper therapy work. I do not carry any judgments and am here to support you in your health matters. You are after all the expert of yourself.
I have a humanistic and integrative approach alongside the above, which gives me the tools to bring in different ways of working to support your needs. I carry a calm, gentle tone and will keep you grounded.
The first step to start counselling can feel overwhelming, bringing past thoughts to the surface and stirring up feelings of being judged, my attitude is to value you for doing the best you can. It can be tough for us at times. To accept us for who and how we are.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sharan Thiara. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Sharan has provided a safe space where I can present my thoughts without any judgements and guide my thoughts to questions I've never really asked myself in my introspective journey. Sharan has the ability to encourage and stokes my self-motivation to continue this great, albeit potentially triggering journey of learning, unlearning and re-learning to love and enjoy myself.

Sharan is very attentive and consistently supported me through facing the trauma I put on hold for a long time. I appreciated the resources she shared with me after every session and her thorough guidance to address any concerns and thoughts I needed to process. She's phenomenal at what she does and I'm in a much better place after consulting with her. Thank you!
