Sharen Robertson , BACP

Sharen Robertson is a licensed and registered psychotherapist with 14 years of clinical experience and membership of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She supports people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, self-esteem struggles, ADHD and autism-related challenges, and issues around intimacy and parenting.

Her practice has a particular focus on relationship and narcissistic abuse, assisting people through transitions into and out of partnerships and offering practical skills to manage ADHD and autism-related difficulties. She also has extensive experience working with survivors of child abuse, domestic violence, human trafficking, and those affected by substance misuse and PTSD. Sharen regularly supports clients coping with chronic or terminal illness, sudden bereavement, and the complex emotional fallout of major life changes.

Sharen speaks from both professional training and personal lived experience of trauma, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, sudden loss, and divorce. Those experiences inform her compassionate, integrative approach and her commitment to helping clients develop coping skills, rebuild resilience, and break cycles of harm. She aims to walk alongside each person, helping them discover or rediscover inner strengths and practical tools to improve their wellbeing.

Sharen describes therapy as a courageous step and values creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where people can work toward more fulfilling and sustainable change. She welcomes those ready to explore their challenges and move toward greater emotional health.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn practical skills to act in ways that matter to them, even when difficult thoughts or emotions are present - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections, which can be especially helpful for relationship challenges, abandonment issues, and intimacy concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering structured strategies for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sharen Robertson works collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions from these approaches to the individual's situation and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Sharen offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home, work, or while traveling. This variety of formats makes it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy lives, different time zones, and varying energy levels, while enabling licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent therapeutic support.
