Bhuwaneshor "Bhu" Sharma

Bhuwaneshor “Bhu” Sharma is a psychotherapist and an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW) with eight years of post-graduate counselling and case management experience in complex community mental health settings.

In his current role as a senior mental health practitioner within a non-profit organisation, he works with people experiencing mild to severe mental health presentations, including distress, depression, anxiety, coping with grief and loss, anger management, complex trauma, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

He follows person-centred, strength-based, humanistic and recovery-focused approaches to support healing from psychological and emotional distress. He believes that people often possess strengths and talents that can guide them through difficult growth periods, and he enjoys helping clients identify and access those capacities to foster growth, build motivation and increase resilience.

Rather than relying on a single method, he integrates a blend of evidence-based therapies - including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and existential approaches - alongside philosophical, cultural, mythological and social traditions to complement psychological science. He reads widely and updates his knowledge regularly to better support clients.

He prioritises creating a welcoming space where clients can feel comfortable sharing inner fears and feelings, and he holds a hopeful, steady presence while clients work toward rediscovering their own paths to healing. The most rewarding part of his work is seeing clients leave with new skills, knowledge, insights and greater confidence about their future. Over the years he has been inspired by many stories of recovery, courage, motivation and hope that clients have demonstrated.

Bhuwaneshor “Bhu” Sharma is a male, older, non-religious and liberal therapist based in Australia who can provide therapy in English, Nepali and Hindi.
