About Sharon
Sharon Minjire is an Accredited Social Worker with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) and has five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD and major life changes. Sharon also lists life purpose among her focus areas and helps people thinking about direction after big transitions.
She previously worked as a Mental Health Clinician at headspace Adelaide on an Early Psychosis team. There she supported young people with diverse mental health difficulties and provided case management around crisis housing and study demands. Before that she worked as a Specialist Support Coordinator under the NDIS. Her background also includes advocacy in Kenyan corporate law.
In sessions Sharon draws on evidence-based techniques including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Strengths Empowerment Perspective, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). She uses social work theories to understand practical life pressures alongside emotional responses. Conversations are aimed at building self-awareness and practical skills rather than only analysing feelings.
She has experience working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and notes multicultural concerns as a focus. Topics she commonly addresses include attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, postpartum depression and trauma-related difficulties.
Away from work she enjoys hiking, beach walks, family time and trying different cuisines. Sessions are offered in English and Swahili and are based in Australia.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Sharon commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. ACT is often used for anxiety, low mood and people searching for clearer direction in life.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which focuses on identifying small, practical changes and building on strengths. This approach is useful for people who want concrete steps to manage stress, transitions or work and study challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with each person about their goals, history and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
