NO CURRENT VACANCIES - WAIT LIST ONLY
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.

Psychologist, Chartered Clinical Psychologist Specialising in Psychotherapy with Senior Practitioner Status
I am passionate about supporting my clients to overcome their difficulties and find greater satisfaction and equanimity in life. Therapy can be challenging and unsettling at times, but it is a journey we take together, with support and encouragement to get to the bottom of what is driving your difficulties and support you to reach your goals and have a better life.
Psychologist, MA(Honours) MEd GMBPsS(Psychologist)
Independent Practitioner GMBPsS. Confidential Therapy by email. I like for you to explain why you are contacting me.
In order to ascertain how your situation is affecting your state of mind you have to explain your situation in writing. I respect other people's views.
I have worked with different ages and have held a post of responsibility within an institution. I enjoy working with people and reflect upon my efforts and get the job done. I prefer to be honest with people when I give advice and consider the situation carefully before responding via email. I would prefer feedback also about how the therapy went.
Even if you start therapy to help you out of a dark or difficult time, it is a great gift that you give to yourself. We learn a great deal about ourselves, about others and ultimately about living life with more ease and enjoyment. We will sit together and get curious about what you learnt growing up and in your life to date that created you today: your world-view, your assumptions and even your body's responses to the situations you face. We'll learn about how you manage your world in ways that *work* for you, as well as where these ways of relating are causing pain or limiting you. We will find your best ways to unblock and release those old responses. The goal is to find new ways of seeing and being that help you to be more at-ease and authentically yourself and in relation to friends, family, work and other important people and situations. I believe every one of us has a soul-nature and way of being that works well for us and it's our job to work with that.
I work with an integrative palette of approaches and tools, and share them with you in our conversations. A good deal of our work will involve working with how the thoughts and emotions land in our physical selves and our nervous systems.
