Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Sharen uses Jungian therapy in her work, which invites people to look at personal stories, symbols and patterns to gain deeper self-understanding and make sense of difficult life themes. This approach can help when someone wants to explore roots of recurring feelings and behaviours.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on helping people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions. ACT is practical for managing anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-based ideas are used too to understand how early relationship patterns affect current connections and self-image, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharen will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That choice can change over time as needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in option and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
