Sharen Robertson, BACP
Sharen Robertson helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma.
About Sharen
Sharen Robertson helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She supports clients dealing with addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and difficulties with sleep or eating. She also works with people managing ADHD, career changes, compassion fatigue and other life transitions.
Sharen is based in the United Kingdom and has a BACP credential. Her way of working is practical and collaborative. She listens first, then offers tools and skills people can use between sessions.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on building small, steady changes. Sharen uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs rather than one rigid method. Sharen has 14 years of professional experience.
Over that time she has supported people affected by abuse, domestic violence and human trafficking, and those living with chronic illness or bereavement. She also has lived experience of trauma and relationship breakdown, which she says informs her empathy and understanding.
In therapy she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment work, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy. That range lets her tailor sessions for emotional regulation, anxiety management and coping with complex life stressors. People who choose to work with her can expect a steady, respectful process.
She aims to help people uncover strengths, develop coping strategies and make meaningful changes at a pace they can manage. The focus is always on practical steps that fit everyday life.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharen will discuss different methods and choose together with each person based on their goals, preferences and what feels helpful. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make sessions easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, short live chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins and ongoing text-based work can support reflection between meetings. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people access therapy from different locations and timeframes.
