About Sharen
Sharen Robertson offers help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strains, sleep and eating difficulties, and career or life transitions. Sharen has 14 years of clinical experience and holds BACP accreditation.
Her approach is down-to-earth and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people build practical skills to manage difficult feelings. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps so progress feels manageable.
Sharen draws on a mix of methods to suit each person. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take meaningful action, and attachment-informed ways of understanding relationships. She adapts sessions to what the person needs in the moment.
People often come for help with complicated trauma, long-term stress, or recurring relationship difficulties. Sharen also supports those juggling illness, caregiving, neurodiversity and the emotional fallout of major life changes. She brings lived experience of trauma and recovery into her work in a thoughtful way.
Sessions are straightforward and practical. Conversations are paced to suit each person, with space for emotion, problem-solving and skill building. The aim is to help people feel steadier and more in control of their next steps.
Sharen works with clients in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered in English and are available via several online formats.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and on choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy teaches practical strategies to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviours, which many people find useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what matters to the person, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust the plan as things evolve. This is a collaborative process that aims to match techniques to individual needs and preferences.
Online therapy with Sharen is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper, interactive conversations; phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions or a way to stay connected while travelling or juggling a busy schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life while keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
