About Sharon

Sharon Redmond is an AASW social worker practising in Australia with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, stress and life changes. Sharon also supports clients facing anxiety, addictions, grief and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar-related challenges.

Sharon uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her approaches to look at feelings and recurring interaction patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helpful. Her style is conversational and goal-focused, concentrating on what clients want to change and how to get there.

Sessions involve talking through current difficulties, noticing emotional responses, and trying practical skills in the session that can be used afterwards. Sharon works with material including attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, blended family issues and communication problems. She also supports people navigating career questions and executive coaching matters.

Sharon says she adapts the way she works to match each person’s needs. She explains options, listens to what matters most, and helps set small, manageable steps. People can expect clear, straightforward discussion and collaborative planning about goals and next steps.

Sharon practises in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Sharon uses EFT, ACT and attachment ideas online

Sharon uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and track the emotions that drive difficult relationship patterns. EFT focuses on recognising emotional responses and gently testing new ways of responding to oneself and others.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and make values-based choices, and Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships. ACT is practical for coping and flexibility, while attachment ideas assist when worry about closeness or abandonment is a problem.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Sharon will talk through goals and preferences and suggest what seems most useful for the issue at hand. The plan can change as work progresses so methods stay relevant to the client's needs.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and let people choose quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when needed. Appropriately qualified or registered therapists adapt pacing and exercises for video or phone sessions so therapeutic work can continue alongside everyday life.
