More about Sharen
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- 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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
