About Sharon
Sharon Redmond is an AASW social worker with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are anxious, low in confidence, or struggling with relationship and parenting concerns. Sharon listens without judgement and treats each person with respect and compassion.
She works in a conversational way and tailors sessions to each person’s needs. That might mean short-term plans to handle a crisis, or a longer program to build new habits.
Background and approach
She aims for practical steps people can try between sessions, not just talk. Sharon uses a mix of approaches to suit the problem. She draws on cognitive behavioural methods to tackle unhelpful thoughts and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people move toward values-based choices.
Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationships and parenting concerns. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Clients can expect clear goals, simple tools for coping, and decisions about pace and focus made together.
Sharon also offers coaching approaches for career and motivation goals. Sessions can address stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, body image and a range of personality and attachment issues. She supports people through life changes such as separation, blended family challenges, ageing related concerns, and caring responsibilities.
Sharon provides services in English and works with people across Australia. She invites those ready to start to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Sharon's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still take action that matches their values. Online ACT work often focuses on simple practices and small experiments people can try between sessions to build a life they value.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviours. In online sessions this can include thought records, behavioural experiments and short homework tasks to test new ways of responding to stress and anxiety.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns affect current connections. In remote sessions Sharon brings attention to interaction styles and helps people practice different ways of relating and communicating.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she reviews the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. This flexibility helps people fit therapy into work, caregiving and daily life.
