Bhuwaneshor "Bhu" Sharma, AASW

Bhuwaneshor "Bhu" Sharma is a psychotherapist and member of the AASW (Australian Association of Social Workers) with eight years of post-graduate experience in counselling and case management. He brings a combined clinical perspective shaped by long-term work in complex community mental health settings and a current role as a senior mental health practitioner at a non-profit organisation. He supports people across a wide range of presentations, including distress, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, anger management, complex trauma, bipolar conditions and schizophrenia.

Bhu follows person-centred, strength-based, humanistic and recovery-focused ways of working that prioritise each person’s values and capacities. He aims to help clients recognise and access their existing strengths, build motivation, and develop practical skills through a tailored mix of evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and existential approaches.

He also draws on philosophical, cultural and social traditions to complement psychological methods and stays current through ongoing reading and professional development. Bhu seeks to create a comfortable therapeutic space where people can explore fears and feelings and gradually build confidence, skills and insights to move toward a more meaningful and balanced life. He provides therapy in English, Hindi and Nepali.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Bhu

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then identify meaningful values to guide action - it is useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, respect and strengthening a person’s own capacity to find solutions - it supports those coping with grief, relationship and identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) explores the links between thoughts, emotions and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve coping for stress, anxiety and low mood.

Bhu treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He works with clients to understand their needs, goals and preferences and tailors techniques from these models so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to access care from home, work or while travelling. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, allow ongoing support between sessions and let clients choose the format that best suits their comfort and daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
