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.

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.

What are the benefits of therapy?Therapy is a safe space to explore who you are, to get to know the parts of you and your history that may long to be witnessed and healed. At any given moment, there is an opportunity to rewrite your narrative. Whatever it is you have come from, with new understanding, skills and a clear vision you can choose the next step on your path. There is no reason to remain stuck in what was. The opportunity to grow is here.

What is holistic counselling and how is it different to other therapyHolistic counselling is an integrative approach that sees you as a complex, whole person with emotional, body-based, spiritual and relationship needs. Unlike traditional therapy that may focus on present moment symptoms, holistic counselling explores how all aspects of you - mind-body-spirit - and your history interconnect and affect your sense of wellness and peace.
