About Sharen
BACP. 14 years' experience. Sharen Robertson works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports people with ADHD, autism, addictions and grief, and offers coaching for career and life changes.
Sharen uses a mix of practical talking therapy approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based methods alongside client-centred and dialectical tools. In sessions she offers skills for managing anxiety, coping with transitions, and understanding patterns that affect relationships and self-esteem.
Her background includes many years supporting people affected by childhood abuse, domestic violence and human trafficking. She reports experience helping people recover from substance misuse and post-traumatic stress, and supporting those living with long-term illness or sudden bereavement.
Sharen says her own life experience has informed her work and given her particular interest in narcissistic abuse and relationship harm. She commonly helps people who want practical strategies to manage ADHD or autism-related challenges alongside emotional support for trauma and loss.
Sessions are collaborative and conversational. Sharen aims to help people learn tools, practise coping strategies and make changes they find meaningful. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online counselling options button.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing new ways of responding, which many people find helpful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and can help with intimacy, attachment issues and relationship repair.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what helps in the first sessions, then test different methods together to see what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving and daily routines. It can also allow shorter check-ins, sessions without video if preferred, or fewer travel interruptions, helping people continue regular appointments alongside everyday life.
