About Sharen
Sharen Robertson helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and relationship difficulties. She supports those managing ADHD and autism, grief, addiction and problems around intimacy and self‑esteem. Her approach is practical and people-focused, aimed at building coping skills and clearer ways of living.
Sharen draws on 14 years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and works with a wide range of concerns. She has substantial experience supporting people who have experienced child abuse, domestic violence, human trafficking and complex trauma.
Background and approach
She also supports people living with chronic illness, caregiving strain and the emotional impact of serious medical conditions. In sessions she uses straightforward, evidence-based methods. Sharen blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening.
She offers skills for managing anxiety, low mood, anger and addictive behaviours, and practical strategies for day-to-day life. Sharen speaks from both professional practice and lived experience of trauma and relationship breakdown. That perspective informs a compassionate, non-judgemental style that aims to build resilience.
She encourages people to notice strengths they already have and to practise new ways of responding to stress. Sessions can include coaching-style work as well as therapy, depending on what someone wants to focus on. Sharen works collaboratively to set achievable goals and to review progress as therapy continues.
People who choose her support are guided toward clearer routines, coping tools and healthier boundaries.

How her approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques for reducing anxiety and improving sleep and mood. Attachment-Based ideas focus on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions, which can help with intimacy issues and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client assess needs, goals and preferences and choose methods that fit. Sessions may combine approaches so that techniques are tailored to what the person wants to achieve and what works in practice.
Online therapy with her is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low; chat and messaging can suit brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to schedule sessions, to maintain continuity while travelling, and to use different formats for different kinds of work.
