About Sharen
Sharen Robertson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma. She supports people struggling with relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, ADHD and autism, grief and coping with major life changes. She brings 14 years of clinical experience and works from a compassionate, person-focused stance.
Sharen uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. In sessions she listens closely, helps people name their emotions and teaches practical strategies to manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
The aim is to build clearer understanding and steadier emotional responses. She has substantial experience supporting people affected by abuse, domestic violence, substance misuse, PTSD and recovery from traumatic events. She also works with people who are navigating career shifts, chronic illness, caregiving stress and complex relationship patterns such as narcissistic abuse and codependency.
Sharen describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people identify small, achievable steps and learn skills they can use between sessions. She draws on client-centred and attachment-based ideas to make space for each person’s story and strengths.
Her approach values lived experience and empathy. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, helping people regain confidence, improve coping and make decisions that suit their life. Sharen wants clients to feel heard and supported as they move toward change.

Online support
How Sharen brings emotion-focused and behavioural methods online
Sharen often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and shift painful emotional patterns. EFT helps people name their core emotions and try new ways of responding in relationships and in their own inner life.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide people toward clearer values and actions. ACT supports choosing small, value-driven steps and learning to live alongside difficult thoughts. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early connections shape current reactions and to develop more supported ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharen aims to collaboratively decide which methods fit best for each person's goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adapts techniques as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face without travel, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins and ongoing support. These options can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health demands while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
