I am passionate about providing caring and compassionate psychological support that is tailored to clients with various mental health issues. My expertise covers a broad range of presentations. These include adjustment difficulties to life transitions and work stress, anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, personality disorders, self-esteem issues, and loss and grief. I am particularly interested in how some of these issues might impact individuals in the workplace, and I offer support in relation to this. I have a rich background in conducting clinical, diagnostic and neuropsychological assessments and delivering personalised psychological interventions. My research specialties also include addressing sleep problems and psychotic spectrum disorders. I work with a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches including Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, CBT, and DBT. With this range of approaches to draw from, I will tailor a treatment plan to suit my clients' specific needs to give them the best outcomes possible. I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology and have over a decade of experience in senior and supervisory roles. Having practiced in Hong Kong and Australia, I deliver therapy in English, Cantonese and Mandarin.  

I am extremely passionate about the genuine person-centred and strength-based approach in psychology. I believe psychologists should aim to assist clients in exploring their unique values and identities. In addition, “not being able to be our genuine self” brings distress in the workplace as well as in personal life. When supporting my clients – instead of assuming the expert position – I partner with them, exploring their potential and understanding who they want to be. During the therapy journey, my goal is to create a safe place where my clients can be heard.  

I offer online therapy to increase access to people who have trouble getting to an in person therapist or simply prefer online therapy. My psychotherapy approach is tailored to your needs and what works best for you. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families, and I have worked with refugees, neurodivergent people, poly people, gay/lesbian/bi people, trans people, and intersex people with a variety of mental health concerns. Helping people overcome trauma is something I'm especially passionate about. I am also able to provide ADOS-2 autism assessments for adults and older teens.  

WAITLIST ONLY - NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! My name is Shareen Birges & I am a social worker who specialises in online counselling. I have been practicing for over 10 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.
