About Sharen
Sharen Robertson is a counsellor with 14 years of clinical experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, addiction and grief, and offers practical coping skills for ADHD, autism and life transitions.
Her style is warm and direct. She listens and helps clients name what is happening for them. Then she works with them to build small, usable skills for everyday life. Sessions focus on thoughts and everyday habits alongside feelings and relationships.
Sharen combines several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to tackle unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships affect present trust and closeness.
She draws on long experience supporting people who have survived child abuse, domestic violence, human trafficking and narcissistic abuse. She also supports those living with chronic or terminal illness, and people coping with sudden bereavement. Her lived experience informs an empathic, down-to-earth approach.

Approaches that suit online work and everyday life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based action so clients can move toward a life they care about even when emotions are hard to face. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down thinking patterns and habits that maintain distress, then builds practical strategies to change those patterns and test new behaviours.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as the relationship develops.
The biography does not specify session formats here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity through life changes and reduce interruptions to work or family routines. Registered or accredited professionals explain practical arrangements at first contact and help you select a way of working that fits your day-to-day needs.
