Sharon Redmond

Sharon Redmond is an AASW counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, stress, anxiety and mood concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction-related issues, and major life changes. Sharon writes plainly and works to make each conversation feel respectful and down-to-earth.

Sharon uses a mix of practical strategies and listening. She adapts sessions to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed script. Clients can expect clear discussion about goals and step-by-step ways to try new behaviours between sessions.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts and actions. Attachment-based ideas help when relationships and connection are central to the problem. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are used where emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

With three years of professional experience in Australia, Sharon has worked with people from diverse backgrounds, including those exploring LGBT issues, neurodiversity, and blended family dynamics. She aims to balance empathy with practical coaching so people leave with tools they can use straight away.

Sharon asks clients to be active partners in the process. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort focused on real-life improvements, whether that means better communication, healthier boundaries, or clearer everyday routines.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps when someone feels stuck by worry, rumination or unhelpful habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape trust and communication, which can help with closeness and boundary concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped before. They will then suggest one or more approaches and adjust them over time, so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to maintain contact after a life change or while relocating within Australia. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals can deliver these methods over distance, and Sharon aims to translate practical exercises and skills into formats that suit each person’s everyday life.
