About Sharon

Sharon Redmond is an AASW social worker with three years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people who are struggling with relationships, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. Sharon also supports those facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar disorder.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how earlier family patterns might still shape daily life. She uses clear techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful patterns.

Sharon draws on attachment-based work to look at how early family roles affect current relationships. She also offers client-centred listening so people can set the agenda for sessions. Dialectical behaviour therapy skills may be used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

People who consult Sharon often want realistic ways to manage stress, improve communication, or rethink parenting choices. She can help identify repeated family-of-origin patterns such as role assignments, boundaries, or expectations, and then practise different responses. Work may include short skills practice, reflection on family history, and planning small changes to daily routines.

Sharon works in English and combines coaching-style conversation with therapeutic methods. She asks about current goals and adapts sessions to what each person brings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Sharon draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help with stress, motivation and coping when family patterns feel limiting. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early family roles affect current relationships, which can help with communication and closeness concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She will discuss why a particular technique might help and adjust the plan as therapy continues.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or remove travel time for those balancing work and parenting. Practical benefits include being able to schedule appointments from different locations and to follow up on skills in day-to-day life without needing to travel to an office.
