About Sharon
Sharon Andrews is a counsellor with 20 years of professional experience in Australia. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. Sharon frames clients as the experts in their own lives and offers steady support while they work towards clearer goals.

Background and approach
Sharon uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to guide conversations about values, choices and everyday routines. She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing for people working through past traumatic memories when appropriate. These methods are used to reduce distressing reactions and build skills for coping with life’s challenges.
Over two decades she has helped people with a wide range of concerns including sleeping problems, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, career decisions, bipolar management and ADHD-related difficulties. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation and questions about life purpose. The work is collaborative.
Sharon helps clients set small, achievable steps and reviews progress together. Her approach suits those who want practical tools and a calm, respectful space to talk.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small meaningful actions. It focuses on building psychological flexibility so difficult thoughts and feelings have less control over daily choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, sleep problems and low mood through exercises and behavioural experiments.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured way to reduce the intensity of distressing memories for some people. It can be used when past events continue to affect present-day wellbeing.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss different methods and decide together which suits the client’s needs, goals and comfort level. Sessions can be adapted over time if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and therapeutic exercises. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or easier when bandwidth is limited. Messaging and live chat suit quick updates and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and busy days.
