About Sharon
Sharon Redmond is an AASW social worker with three years of professional experience in Australia. She works with adults who are struggling with relationships, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, stress and anxiety, and the knock-on effects of addiction or loss.
Sharon commonly helps people who keep putting others first, who find it hard to say no, or who lose sight of themselves in difficult relationships. She also supports people facing big life changes, career crossroads, grief, and issues around body image or eating. Codependency is listed among her focus areas for people wanting to understand those patterns.
Her way of working is conversational and practical. She uses tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try experiments that might change how they respond. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how earlier relationship experiences affect current choices and reactions.
Sharon also draws on client-centred and dialectical behaviour therapy approaches when helpful, offering short exercises and skill practice that can be used between sessions. Sessions aim to identify small, manageable steps rather than overwhelming lists of change.
People who choose Sharon often want a down-to-earth approach that links feelings and everyday behaviour. She encourages clear goals and ongoing review so progress is visible and practical adjustments can be made along the way.
How sessions work
How Sharon uses different approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and try small actions that align with those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and for people stuck in people-pleasing patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people spot repeated reactions that hurt their needs. This can be helpful for codependency and commitment issues.Finding which approach fits often happens together with the therapist. Sharon will assess your concerns, discuss goals and suggest one or two approaches to try. That choice can change as you learn what works and what doesn't; the process is collaborative and reviewed over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or remove travel time when juggling parenting or work. Practical benefits include being able to work on skills between sessions and to bring real-life situations into the conversation without needing extra travel time.
