About Sharon
Sharon Minjire offers practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or major life changes. She aims to help clients find small, manageable steps that can make day-to-day life steadier and more hopeful. Sharon speaks English and Swahili and works from an Australian perspective.
Sharon is an AASW social worker with five years of clinical experience. She has worked as a mental health clinician at headspace Adelaide on an early psychosis team, and has experience in crisis housing, child protection and case management.
How Sharon works
Before focusing on mental health she worked as a Specialist Support Coordinator under the NDIS. Her work often focuses on practical problems such as adapting to new jobs, starting university, moving to a new country and managing perfectionism. Sharon also supports people coping with ADHD, mood disorders, panic and social anxiety, and parenting-related challenges like postpartum depression and pregnancy concerns.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and social work principles to help clients build self-awareness and a stronger sense of belonging. Sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on realistic goals rather than long lists of tasks. Sharon has spent considerable time supporting people from diverse cultural backgrounds and brings that multicultural understanding into sessions.
Outside work she enjoys hiking, beach walks, family time and trying different cuisines.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Sharon uses several evidence-based approaches that focus on practical change and personal strengths. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to focus on actions that match their values. Solution-Focused Therapy prioritises small, achievable steps and quick strategies to move forward when someone feels overwhelmed.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Sharon will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals, needs and day-to-day life. She adapts techniques over time so therapy stays relevant and helpful rather than prescriptive.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video can suit in-depth conversations that benefit from visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or family commitments and provide flexibility for ongoing support.
