About Sharon
Sharon Redmond helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, and big life changes. She also supports those dealing with grief, addiction concerns, eating issues, anger and workplace or career stress. Sharon presents as warm and respectful and aims to make it easier to take the first step towards change.
Sharon holds AASW and has three years of professional experience in Australia. She adapts sessions to each person, drawing on several approaches to suit the problem at hand.
How Sharon works
Conversations are practical and focused on what the client wants to achieve. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps people identify small, doable steps forward.
Sessions often mix talking, skill practice and goal-setting to build confidence and momentum. Sharon uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches, among others. These approaches are chosen to match each person's needs and preferences rather than applied the same way to everyone.
She works with concerns ranging from self-esteem and stress to more complex issues like trauma, bipolar mood concerns and comorbidity. Sharon also provides coaching-style support for motivation, career questions and life transitions. Her aim is to help people find clearer direction and more reliable ways to cope.
Sessions are conducted in English and offered through online formats. Sharon will tailor the pace and focus to reflect each person's situation and goals.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being led by them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising new skills to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and change how they relate to others when old attachment styles get in the way.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past attempts and current needs, then suggest one or a mix of approaches. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work, while chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to continue work over time.
