Sharon Redmond, AASW

Sharon Redmond is an AASW counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, self‑esteem struggles, anxiety and stress. She also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, mood concerns and career uncertainty. Sharon writes plainly and works to make conversations feel practical and manageable for busy lives.

Her approach is collaborative and tailored. She adapts sessions to each person's needs and focuses on everyday habits and thought patterns that keep difficulties going. Work might include noticing unhelpful thinking, building daily routines, practising new ways of responding, and setting small, achievable goals.

Sharon draws on several evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred ways of working. She uses these to help people notice what matters to them and take steps aligned with those values. Sessions aim to be straightforward and skills-based when useful, and reflective when that serves change.

With three years of professional experience in Australia, Sharon has supported people from a range of backgrounds through life transitions and practical challenges. She emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion in every session. She invites clients to be part of designing their own plan rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.

To begin, Sharon asks people to consider what they want to change and what fits into their daily life. She encourages small experiments between sessions so progress can be tracked and adjusted as needed.

Approaches that shape online conversations

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practising alternative ways of responding to reduce stress and anxiety. Client‑centred therapy creates a supportive space where the therapist follows the client's lead, listening carefully and reflecting what matters to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss different methods with each person and decide together what fits goals, temperament and practical needs. The plan can change over time as progress and preferences become clearer, so the process is collaborative rather than fixed.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings, avoid heavy commutes, and continue work during life transitions. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt exercises, homework and skills practice to work well in an online setting.
