About Sharen
Sharen Robertson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on depression alongside a wide range of related concerns. She brings 14 years of clinical experience to sessions and works with people facing anxiety, stress, addiction issues, bereavement, and relationship difficulties. Sharen also supports those coping with ADHD, autism, chronic illness and trauma-related difficulties.
Her style is warm and practical. She listens first, then offers straightforward coping skills and ways to make small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to help people manage symptoms, rebuild routines, and find better ways to handle triggers and setbacks. Sharen uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns and trust are central issues. She holds BACP accreditation, which reflects a professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Sessions are offered in English and she works with international clients as well. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Many clients find these formats helpful for busy schedules, reduced travel, or shorter check-ins.
To start, people use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them.

Online support
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that make mood and anxiety worse. CBT supports practical experiments and step-by-step plans to change unhelpful habits and improve sleep, eating or daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals and preferences, and choose methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and methods can be blended or adjusted over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works for brief check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving or health needs and to keep momentum between appointments.
