Sharmi Gowri-Kriszyk, NCPS

Sharmi Gowri-Kriszyk is an NCPS Therapist - Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred) with 21 years of experience working in the mental health field in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, sleeping and eating difficulties, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, ADHD, and anger. She also addresses trauma, attachment difficulties, parenting and intimacy-related problems. Sessions are offered in English, Danish and Tamil.

Sharmi's background includes advanced study to doctorate level in psychology and counselling or psychotherapy, and a long history of additional training focused on trauma. She describes her work as trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive, and uses approaches that address both bodily and memory-based responses to distress. That means she pays attention to how the body holds stress and to subtle, often unconscious triggers.

In practice she keeps things straightforward. She helps people talk through triggers, strong emotions, and patterns that lead to repeated conflict or shame. She uses methods drawn from attachment work, cognitive-behavioural ideas, dialectical strategies and EMDR-style approaches to help process traumatic memories and reduce their hold on daily life.

Clients may bring a history of abuse, neglect, loss or developmental trauma, or they may be trying to manage ongoing relationship strain, parenting pressures, or workplace frustration. Sharmi aims to help people recognise patterns, learn practical skills to manage intense feelings, and reduce cycles of reactivity.

Her international practice has worked with adults, young people and parents. Before booking, confirm session formats and any scheduling details to make sure they fit your needs.
