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.

Mandurah is a coastal city south of Perth at the mouth of the Peel Estuary, one of Western Australia's fastest-growing cities and a major retirement and lifestyle destination that draws both retirees from Perth and younger families seeking more affordable coastal living, creating a demographically bifurcated community with quite different mental health needs across its population. Peel Health Campus and the state public health system provide mental health services, and a developing private therapy sector serves the growing population, though access to specialist care often requires travel to Perth. The city's rapid growth has outpaced the development of mental health and social service infrastructure, creating a persistent gap between need and availability. Common therapy concerns include retirement adjustment and ageing-related concerns, isolation for new residents still building community connections, family stress for the growing younger population, anxiety, and the challenges of a rapidly growing outer-metropolitan city where services consistently lag behind demand.
