Sharen Robertson, BACP

Sharen Robertson is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, parenting pressures and grief. She also supports people coping with ADHD, autism, trauma and abuse, and difficult life changes.

Sharen offers straightforward, skills-based work. She uses practical tools to help people manage anxiety, improve sleep and handle intense emotions. Sessions often include talking through patterns, practising coping strategies and building clearer routines for daily life.

Her background includes long experience supporting people affected by child abuse, domestic violence, human trafficking and substance misuse. Sharen also draws on lived experience of trauma, grief and relationship breakdown when she listens and plans work with clients. That experience informs how she responds to complex or repeated harm.

Her approach blends methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-based work and client-centred counselling. She uses ideas from these approaches to help people manage symptoms, improve relationships and practise different responses to difficult situations.

People who contact Sharen are usually looking for practical change rather than theory alone. She aims to help clients develop everyday skills for coping, decision-making and parenting. To begin, the site matching steps must be completed so a first session can be arranged.
