Reality Therapy / Choice Theory Therapists in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia

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.

I am an optimistic and accepting therapist, enthusiastic about working with clients in collaborative ways, seeking to uncover and understand, and finding new ways of changing your life and living with fulfilling and rewarding relationships, families and friends. Over the years I have come to appreciate the therapeutic relationship as deeply healing, a safe space for clients to reflect and explore.

Hobart is Tasmania's compact capital and the smallest of Australia's state capital cities, with a mental health landscape shaped by the challenges of geographic isolation, an ageing population, and a slower-paced economy relative to mainland Australia. The city has a vibrant creative and arts community, and arts-based therapeutic approaches have found a particularly receptive audience here, while the surrounding regions of rural Tasmania face more significant access challenges for which telehealth has become essential. Mental health services in Hobart are available through Tasmania's public system and a private sector that, while growing, is smaller than in larger Australian cities; wait times for publicly funded care can be considerable. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, seasonal mood changes, and the life transition challenges experienced by those who relocate to or from Tasmania.
