My name is Shareen Birges & I am a social worker who specialises in online counselling. I have been practicing for over 15 years & as a result, have a broad range of experience. I have worked with adolescents & their families, adults & couples. I specialise in the care of people with cancer and chronic illness, mental health, dual diagnosis/comorbidity, trauma background (including sexual abuse/assault & childhood abuse and trauma) & people with offending behaviour & people living with BPD. Due to my extensive experience working with adolescents and young people, I have developed an ability to work closely with families & other professionals, whilst keeping the boundary of privacy & confidentiality. I believe I am approachable & create a good balance between challenging clients & allowing their therapy to flow at a pace that feel comfortable to them.

Auckland houses the majority of New Zealand's therapy community, with practitioners concentrated in Parnell, Remuera, Grey Lynn, and the North Shore. The city's housing affordability crisis — one of the worst in the world relative to income — is a persistent source of financial anxiety, and therapists frequently address housing stress, displacement, and the difficulty of achieving stability in one of the world's most expensive property markets. Auckland's large Pacific Islander and Māori populations require therapists with cultural competence around Indigenous mental health, collectivist family systems, and the historical trauma of colonization. Te Whatu Ora — Health New Zealand provides public mental health services, with a growing private therapy community serving those with health insurance or the capacity to self-fund.
