Background and approach
Before moving into mental health, she worked as a Specialist Support Coordinator under the NDIS. She supports people facing perfectionism, relationship concerns, study or work transitions, and adapting to life in a new country. Sharon has considerable experience with multicultural issues and with people from diverse backgrounds.
She also offers help for mood concerns including depression, panic and social anxiety. Her practice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside social work theories. Sharon uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and a strengths empowerment perspective.
She works collaboratively to tailor strategies to each person’s goals. Away from counselling, Sharon enjoys hiking, beach walks, family time and exploring different cuisines. She speaks English and Swahili and works with people in Australia.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small actions that matter. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, commit to meaningful steps, and build a life that feels worthwhile even when worry is present. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for strengths and quick, practical steps. It suits people who want short-term work aimed at specific changes and clearer next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk through options and decide together which methods match your needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and manageable.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support without needing to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
