If you're experiencing success at work but are struggling internally or at home - contact me now. Whether it be challenges with anxiety, burnout, relationship distress, or a lack of meaning, I can help. Together we will work to understand unhealthy patterns, shift unwanted behaviour and equip you with the tools and direction you need to live a peaceful, purposeful life. My approach is one of warmth, non-judgment, curiosity, and depth. The work I do is not basic talk therapy, we won't just discuss your problems, we'll unpack them, transform them, and integrate them into a new way of being. I deeply believe that everyone has what it takes to find connection and fulfilment beyond stuckness and distress.

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.

Wellington is New Zealand's compact capital city and home to the national public service, creating a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government and policy careers — including burnout, moral injury, and the pressures of politically visible work. The city has a high concentration of university-educated professionals who generally view therapy as a normal part of self-care, and demand for longer-term therapeutic work is relatively strong. Wellington Regional Hospital provides institutional mental health services, with a private therapy community serving Thorndon, Kelburn, Mount Victoria, and the inner suburbs. Wellington's smaller size relative to Auckland means specialist therapist availability can be limited, and telehealth has become an important option for residents seeking a specific type of match.
