About Sharon
Sharon Andrews is a PACFA counsellor with 20 years of professional experience in Australia. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression, and supports those facing grief, low self-esteem and motivation struggles. Sharon believes clients know their own stories and brings steady support to help them find clearer direction.
Clients can expect a calm, practical style. Sessions focus on small, useful steps rather than jargon. Sharon draws on everyday strategies to build coping skills, improve sleep and manage intense feelings such as anger or shame.
How Sharon works
Her work includes support for people exploring relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career crossroads and questions about identity including LGBT matters. She also helps people living with bipolar conditions, ADHD and the ongoing challenges they bring. Sharon blends approaches that encourage acceptance, present-moment focus and changing unhelpful thinking patterns.
She uses tools that are easy to practise between sessions so progress continues outside the room. The aim is clearer values, better routine, and more self-compassion. People looking to start therapy will find straightforward guidance and gentle problem-solving.
Sharon offers video, phone, live chat and text-based sessions to fit different needs and schedules. Her approach suits people who want practical support and a respectful, collaborative relationship.

How Sharon uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and reconnect with what matters to them. It builds small actions that align with personal values, useful for life changes, motivation and self-esteem work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain distress and replacing them with practical skills for anxiety, sleep and mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, which can be helpful for grief, trauma and painful past events.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what has worked before, then suggest options to try together. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies so the work fits each person's needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit quieter bandwidth or hands-free times, and live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue building skills between sessions.
