Sharen Robertson, BACP

Sharen Robertson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and a range of relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also works with people dealing with addictions, grief, parenting strain, ADHD and autism-related challenges. Her approach is empathetic and practical, aimed at helping clients find coping skills that fit their everyday lives.

Sharen draws on 14 years of experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which she uses as her professional base. She has supported people who have experienced trauma, including child abuse, domestic violence and human trafficking, and she speaks from both professional and lived experience of relationship harm and loss. That combination shapes her way of working and how she connects with clients.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps and emotional understanding. She will help people build skills to manage anxiety, navigate life changes, and cope with mood and attentional difficulties. Conversations are grounded and straightforward, with attention to what helps between sessions as well as during them.

Her work often includes helping people rebuild after relationship harm, manage commitment and intimacy concerns, and cope with chronic or terminal illness where needed. She supports clients to identify small, realistic changes that make a difference in day-to-day life.

Sharen aims to work collaboratively, helping clients find their own strengths and next steps. To begin, people are invited to reflect on what matters to them and explore practical strategies that match their goals and circumstances.

Approaches that guide online therapeutic work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts while committing to valued actions. It is useful when worry or low mood gets in the way of living a meaningful life.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past relationships shape present feelings and patterns. This approach can help people who repeat harmful relationship cycles or struggle with intimacy and trust.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions, offering a non-judgemental space where the client leads the pace and direction. It supports people who want to explore feelings and make choices that fit their values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as needed.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the available session formats before booking since specific formats were not listed in the profile. Online work can make fitting therapy around daily life easier, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or letting someone attend from a quieter space. It also makes it practical to continue therapy when life is in flux, helping people keep momentum and build skills over time.
