About Sharen
Sharen Robertson is a counsellor with 14 years of clinical experience. She supports people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, addiction, depression and relationship problems. She also works with clients coping with grief, trauma, ADHD and the life changes that come with major transitions.
Sharen uses a mix of practical skills and talking therapy. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to map thoughts and behaviours, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small steps towards what matters to them.
Her practice pays attention to how attachment and early relationships shape current patterns, and she adopts a client-centred stance that keeps each person’s story at the heart of the work. Sessions focus on building coping skills, improving sleep and daily routines, and addressing the fallout of abuse and relationship harm when that is relevant.
Sharen has particular experience supporting people with ADHD and autistic traits, and those recovering from narcissistic or domestic abuse. She also brings lived experience of trauma, grief and relationship breakdown to her practice, which informs her empathetic approach.
Based in the United Kingdom, Sharen is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her work aims to help people regain a sense of control and develop realistic strategies for day-to-day life.
Approaches for online therapy and what they offer
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most. It supports work on values, motivation and small steps toward a more meaningful routine. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape feelings and reactions now, and helps people build safer ways of relating and soothing themselves.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. The counsellor works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions often mix several approaches so the plan fits the individual rather than the other way around.
The original profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make some therapy tasks easier, such as working on sleep routines or doing between-session exercises that fit into daily life.
