Sharen Robertson, BACP

Sharen Robertson is a BACP counsellor with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD and autism, and related concerns such as grief, addiction and parenting challenges. She also supports those coping with major life changes and chronic illness.

Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses a mix of well-known methods to help people build coping skills and manage difficult feelings. Sessions often include talking through current problems, learning new strategies for emotional regulation, and developing clearer ways to handle relationships and daily stresses.

Sharen has worked directly with people recovering from substance misuse, PTSD, domestic violence and other forms of abuse. She has several years of focused experience supporting people affected by narcissistic abuse and relationship breakdowns, and she draws on that background when helping others navigate transitions and safety planning.

Her practice includes supporting people with ADHD and autism to find tools that make day-to-day life easier. She also works with those living with chronic or terminal illness, helping with grief and practical coping strategies. Sharen combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas in plain, usable ways.

Clients are guided to identify what they want to change and to try out small, practical steps between sessions. The emphasis is on straightforward skill-building, clearer thinking about problems, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
