About Sharon
Sharon Andrews is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Sharon also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems and anger.
Sharon treats each person as the expert on their own life. She draws on practical tools and straightforward conversation to help people notice what gets in the way of change. Sessions focus on small, repeatable steps rather than vague advice.
Her approach includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Sharon also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing where appropriate to help with distressing memories. She explains options in plain language and helps people decide what to try first.
People who come for help often want better ways to manage frustration, resentment and impulsive reactions. Sharon works on communication habits, dealing with guilt and shame, and building self‑respect. She also addresses career concerns, ADHD-related struggles and questions about life purpose.
Sharon asks about what is already working in someone’s life and builds on those strengths. Practical exercises, short experiments and regular check-ins are common parts of her sessions. She invites people to set realistic goals and reviews progress each meeting.
To begin, Sharon recommends a simple first step: complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. That helps both of you clarify priorities and pick the most useful tools for the problem at hand.
How Sharon uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for ongoing anger, avoidance and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings and actions keep a problem going and teaches practical skills to change those patterns. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to reduce strong emotional reactions linked to distressing memories and can help when past events keep triggering anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon discusses options with each person and together they decide which methods to try first based on current goals and preferences. She uses short exercises and regular check-ins to adjust the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel, or keep meetings brief when time is limited. It also allows practical tools and homework to be shared directly during a session, helping people practise new responses to anger in everyday life.
