About Sharon
Sharon Andrews is a PACFA-credentialed counsellor in Australia with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression, and supports those struggling with self-esteem and motivation. Sharon also helps people coping with life changes and explores concerns around relationships, intimacy and parenting.
Sharon describes clients as the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. In sessions she talks through practical ways to manage anxiety and low mood. She also offers coaching-style conversations for people who want clearer goals around work or purpose.
Her work includes helping people process grief and relationship hurt. She addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Sharon also supports people with concerns about sleeping, anger and intimacy-related issues.
She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR when appropriate. That means sessions often include practical exercises, noticing thoughts and values-based planning. Sharon aims to help people try different strategies and notice what fits for them.
Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How ACT, CBT and EMDR inform online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used when someone feels stuck or unsure what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood. It suits practical, skills-based work such as sleep or worry management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge; it can be suited to grief, trauma-related symptoms and strong emotional reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and recommend or combine methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process means testing a strategy and adjusting it if it does not help.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time. They also allow practical exercises and worksheets to be used between meetings, which supports trying new skills between sessions.
