About Sharen
Sharen Robertson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and a wide range of relationship and life-change problems. She supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, grief, and issues linked to ADHD and autism. Sharen draws on 14 years of experience and holds BACP membership.
Sharen focuses on practical ways to manage day-to-day difficulties. She offers skills for coping with anxiety, mood problems and the fallout from difficult relationships. She also works with people recovering from domestic abuse, narcissistic abuse and human trafficking, and those navigating chronic illness or caring responsibilities.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions aim to help people recognise strengths, learn coping strategies, and find clearer ways forward. She uses a mixture of approaches rather than a single method to suit each persons needs.
Sharen draws on personal and professional experience to inform her work. That background helps her relate to people who have lived through trauma, relationship breakdowns, sudden loss and long-term health issues. She aims to help clients feel heard and to build practical skills for managing life stressors.
People can expect a calm, empathetic space where their story matters. Sharen seeks to balance validation with tools people can use between sessions. She encourages small, steady steps toward greater wellbeing.
How Sharens approaches translate to online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting ruled by them and build actions that match their values. It suits people who want practical ways to live with difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and helps people change those patterns to feel safer in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and empathy, giving people space to be heard and to find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is something the therapist will do with each person. Sharen will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the situation. The process is collaborative and may change as needs evolve.
Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth options. Many people find it easier to maintain regular sessions when they fit into their daily routine, and therapists and registered or accredited professionals will adapt tools and homework for remote sessions.
