About Sharen
Sharen Robertson is a counsellor with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and relationship pain. She also supports those facing grief, parenting strains, career changes, and the practical challenges of ADHD and autism. Sharen draws on lived experience alongside professional practice to offer grounded, empathic support.
She works in a straightforward, collaborative way. Sessions focus on what is troubling you now and on skills you can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Conversations are calm and direct, aiming to help you make small, steady changes that add up over time. Her approach blends practical tools and emotion-focused work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
Attachment-based ideas and Trauma-Focused methods support healing from past hurt and patterns that keep repeating. Sharen is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on several therapeutic models to match the work to the person, not the other way around.
That flexibility helps when people face complex or overlapping problems. People choose her when they want a calm, experienced guide who will listen without judgement. She offers support for long-standing issues and sudden life changes, and she works with people who are recovering from abuse, addiction, loss or relationship breakdown.

Approaches for healing online and practical support
Sharen commonly draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process past harm and reduce its impact on day-to-day life. That work often looks at patterns that developed after traumatic events and builds tools to manage strong emotions when they arise.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, which helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps towards those values while learning to handle difficult thoughts. Attachment-Based Therapy is part of her approach too and helps when relationship patterns from the past affect current connections and self‑image.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharen works with each person to agree what to try first and then adjusts methods as progress is made. That collaborative way means therapy can change if your goals or needs change over time.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for this kind of work. Video calls let you use visual cues and maintain a closer personal connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when camera-free conversation feels better. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, brief coaching tools, or people who prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, care duties and other commitments, while keeping therapy consistent over time.
