More about Sharen
- 4 years' experience

- NCPS
I am an accredited counsellor with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), committed to supporting individuals through integrative and client-centred therapeutic approaches. With a specialist interest in neurodivergence and over four years of diverse experience in mental health, counselling, and social prescribing, I am passionate about helping clients overcome challenges and build resilience. My approach is rooted in empathy, tailored interventions, and a commitment to ongoing personal and professional development.
I provide specialist counselling and coaching for neurodivergent individuals, helping them develop life skills and emotional well-being. This focus on neurodiversity reflects my broader expertise, which spans a variety of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, grief, and bereavement.
Throughout my career, I have been committed to providing compassionate, effective, and ethical care. I engage in regular supervision and continue to expand my knowledge through ongoing training, such as my PESI Certification as an Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist and domestic violence training. My approach is integrative, drawing on different therapeutic models to best meet each client's unique needs.
I am driven by the belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, and I am eager to bring my expertise and passion to a new counselling role, where I can continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
