About Sharon
Sharon Redmond is an AASW social worker with three years of practice in Australia. She helps people facing anxiety, stress and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with relationship and parenting concerns, low self-esteem, grief and mood difficulties.
Sharon aims for straightforward, respectful conversations that get to the heart of what’s difficult right now. Sharon works in a collaborative way and tailors sessions to each person’s needs. She uses simple, practical strategies from cognitive behavioural approaches to help manage unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Background and approach
She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice values and take meaningful steps, even when feelings are strong. Attachment-based ideas shape how she attends to relationship patterns and connection issues. Sharon uses client-centred listening to help people feel heard and to build a clear direction for change.
She can introduce skills from dialectical behaviour approaches when emotion regulation or strong reactions are getting in the way of day-to-day life. Sessions are designed to be practical and usable between meetings. Sharon often sets small exercises to try at home and reviews progress together.
She encourages steady, achievable steps rather than big sudden shifts. People choose Sharon for a calm, down-to-earth style and a focus on what works in daily life. She aims to make therapy understandable and relevant, helping clients move from coping to feeling more in control of their choices.
How Sharon’s approaches work online
Sharon commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people recognise thinking patterns and try small behavioural experiments to change unhelpful cycles. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that reflect their values, even when emotions are strong.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will talk through your goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. She treats the choice as a collaboration and checks in regularly to adjust the focus as needed.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging work well for people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
