About Sharen Robertson

Sharen Robertson is a registered psychotherapist with 14 years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She works extensively with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, substance misuse and recovery, PTSD, depression, and major life transitions. Relationship and marital problems - including narcissistic abuse - have been a particular focus of her practice, alongside work supporting people with ADHD and autism.

Her practice includes intensive experience with survivors of child abuse, emotional harm, physical and sexual abuse, domestic violence, and human trafficking. She also supports people coping with chronic and terminal illness, sudden bereavement, and grief. Across these areas she offers practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and relationship difficulties, as well as strategies to navigate transitions and recovery journeys.

Sharen draws on an integrative range of therapeutic models to tailor support to each person she works with, and she emphasizes the individual story every person brings. She believes the capacity for change and resilience already exists in clients and focuses on walking alongside them while offering skills to cope, manage, and improve wellbeing. She also speaks from lived experience of narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, trauma, anxiety, depression, sudden death, and divorce, which she says informs her compassionate clinical perspective.

Sharen values collaboration, emotional growth, and breaking cycles of abuse, and she considers it a privilege to support people taking the often difficult first steps towards a more fulfilling life. She holds the BACP credential - a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and she practices with an emphasis on empathy and practical therapeutic skills.

Evidence-based approaches for effective online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching practical ways to live alongside distress rather than trying to eliminate it. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current emotional patterns and interpersonal difficulties. It supports people working with relationship challenges, abandonment or attachment issues, and intimacy-related concerns by exploring relational needs and building healthier connection skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is widely used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday coping problems because it provides clear tools and strategies for symptom management and problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sharen collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. This collaborative process can include mixing elements from different therapies to create a tailored plan that evolves over time.

Online therapy makes this work accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographical distance. These options allow people to engage in meaningful therapeutic work with licensed professionals from a location that suits them while keeping appointments more convenient and adaptable to everyday life.
