Sharen Robertson, BACP

Sharen Robertson is a registered and licensed psychotherapist with 14 years of clinical experience. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works as an integrative therapist who draws on multiple evidence-informed approaches to meet each person where they are.

Her practice focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, self-esteem, and challenges related to ADHD and autism. She has developed particular expertise in supporting people affected by narcissistic abuse and complex relationship difficulties, and she regularly works with those recovering from substance misuse, PTSD, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and human trafficking.

Sharen supports clients through life transitions, helping them develop practical skills to manage anxiety, mood difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating problems, parenting stresses, career changes, and compassion fatigue. She also offers support for people living with chronic or terminal illness and for those coping with sudden loss. Her clinical work includes helping individuals reconcile relationship endings and build strategies to live well with neurodivergence and co-occurring conditions.

Drawing on both professional training and personal lived experience of trauma, abuse, anxiety, and loss, she combines empathy with practical interventions to help people recover, strengthen resilience, and break unhelpful cycles. Based in the United Kingdom, she accepts international clients and aims to create a collaborative space where people can explore their stories, learn coping skills, and work toward the changes they want.

Approaches and Online Support for Everyday Challenges

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and build flexible actions that align with those values. It supports work with anxiety, depression, loss, and life transitions by combining mindfulness with practical goal-focused steps.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses. It is helpful for addressing intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, trust difficulties, and the relational impacts of trauma and abuse.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that contribute to mood and anxiety problems. It is useful for managing stress, panic, sleep and eating difficulties, and symptoms of depression or persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is determined collaboratively. Sharen works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging enable regular contact around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from different locations, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable for each person.
