About Gauri Sharma

As a psychologist, my journey has been a profound combination of personal and professional growth, driven by a deep-seated passion for understanding the human mind and an unwavering commitment to fostering mental well-being. My fascination with psychology began in my teenage years when I first encountered the intricacies of human behaviour and the significant impact of mental health on every facet of life. I was a medical stream student
with psychology as an optional subject and it was to my great surprise that within only a few lectures, it became a deliberate career choice. My academic journey in psychology was shaped by my desire to explore the complexities of the mind and behaviour.


Throughout my undergraduate and postgraduate studies, I immersed myself in understanding various psychological theories and therapeutic techniques such as CBT, DBT, MBCT and other existential approaches. I am deeply captivated by clinical psychology, bio-psychology and developmental psychology branches. During my training and work experience, I have worked with diverse populations, including children, adolescents, adults, prison inmates and families, across various settings such as hospitals, prison complexes and rehabilitation centers. My research experience at the Defense Institute of Psychological Research (DIPR)
under DRDO has deepened my interest and expanded my psychological research and statistics knowledge.


There is still much to be accomplished in the mental health field in India, and I am grateful to be part of this wonderful community dedicated to the welfare of its clients and supporting the healing process during the most challenging situations. I am committed to making a positive impact in the field of mental health.

Approach to Therapy:

I firmly believe that humans are capable of growing and healing. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their innermost thoughts and feelings. I aim to help clients build resilience, enhance their self-esteem, and develop effective coping strategies. My overall therapeutic philosophy is holistic, acknowledging the interconnectedness of
thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and existential concerns. By combining CBT, DBT, MBCT, and existential therapy, I provide a comprehensive approach to issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, self-esteem, trauma, and life transitions.

My past experiences polished my assessment, diagnosis, and therapeutic intervention skills and have strengthened my belief in the power of tailored client- centered care.

What gAURI’s Client Say

I was initially sceptical of online /over the call sessions. If they would be as helpful as a visit to a wellness centre. But, I’m so glad I took that step. In a way, I found scheduling appointments was a bit more readily available and thus I could prioritize my health on time. And then comes Aditya who had a more zen style of approach among other things that worked for me. I remember the sessions where there were exercises, those were fun. And then the introspection ones with self-reflection, which are always a bit tough but much needed. The overall experience has been pleasant and very normal and I encourage others to opt for professional help more often than before.

My overall experience in the therapy session with Phanes has been fulfilling, comforting and healing. These sessions have been tremendously helpful, in fact, life-giving for me. I feel freedom from complexities, I feel liberated. The sessions have transformed my outlook towards life and have successfully served the purpose for which I opted to attend them. I am grateful to the therapist for his time, effort, commitment and willingness to go out of the way to support me.

I had stumbled upon Phanes when I was depressed, had anxiety issues and was dealing with abandonment issues. I suffered clinical depression for almost 3 years before this. I had no one to talk to about everything that was bothering me. I felt no one really cared or understood me. Mr Aditya is a polite person, listens to everything very keenly and lets a person express to his/her heart’s content. He also gives genuine simple advice and following these helped me.I developed a positive mindset, started the habit of loving myself.
