About Sharen
Sharen Robertson is a counsellor with 14 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, autism, grief, parenting strain and coping with life changes, including responses to natural or human-caused disaster. Her approach is practical and compassionate, aimed at helping people find skills that fit their lives.
She uses a mix of well-known therapies to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps such as emotion regulation skills, thinking patterns that cause distress, and values-based choices. Sharen aims to help people build routines and responses that ease daily functioning and reduce overwhelm.
Sharen draws on 14 years of clinical work and brings personal experience of recovery from trauma and relationship abuse. That background shapes a direct but warm style she describes as walking beside people while they learn new ways of coping. She offers support for those facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, addiction recovery and relationship breakdown.
Her way of working is collaborative and paced to the person. She listens first, then suggests tools and small experiments clients can try between sessions. Sessions often include practical exercises, reflection and skill-building tailored to what life looks like for the individual.
Sharen is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people across the United Kingdom and with international clients, offering guidance for those wanting help with emotional recovery, stabilising routines and moving through major life changes.
Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take action in line with those values, even when unwanted thoughts or feelings show up. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviours to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It often works well for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating, and can help people rebuild trust, manage closeness and improve relationship patterns.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick or combine methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions can include practical exercises, reflections and small tasks to try between meetings so progress continues outside scheduled time.
