I'm so amazed at what Sharlene is able to work through in our sessions together. She is attentive, intuitive and really invested in helping me work through my issues. After trying several other therapists, I've found her to be a unique, skilled and attuned practitioner.

Sharlene’s work me with me has been transformational. I’m able to acknowledge, sit with and process thoughts and emotions without feeling the need to medicate or self-sabotage. I consider having reached this point my greatest achievement! I am forever grateful. 

Mr C, Sydney

The best therapist I've had in all my years. Clear, constructive, guided, aligned and super in tune with what I need. I look forward to my sessions as I unlock something new each time.
