About Sharon
Sharon Minjire is an Accredited Social Worker (AASW) with five years' experience in mental health practice in Australia. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes and ADHD, and works with concerns such as attachment, caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, and isolation.
Sharon has worked across several settings, including as a Mental Health Clinician at headspace Adelaide and on an Early Psychosis team. She has experience with crisis housing, child protection case management and helping people manage study and work transitions. Earlier roles include Specialist Support Coordinator work under the NDIS and a background in corporate law and advocacy in Kenya.
In sessions she talks through practical ways to manage anxiety, perfectionism and life transitions. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build self-awareness, improve coping skills and address relationship or cultural adjustment issues. Her work often includes focusing on small, achievable changes rather than sweeping fixes.
She has supported many people from diverse cultural backgrounds and aims to help clients find greater connection and a clearer sense of purpose. Sharon also works with mood disorders, panic and post-traumatic stress concerns, and perinatal difficulties such as postpartum depression and pregnancy-related distress.
Away from counselling she enjoys hiking, beach walks, family time and exploring different cuisines. Her experience spans clinical and community settings, which she draws on to help people navigate practical life pressures and emotional challenges.
How Sharon uses evidence-based techniques online
Sharon works with approaches that focus on practical steps and changing unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports action guided by personal values. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories they tell about who they are, and can be useful when guilt or shame feel like an all-defining story.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. She aims to plan sessions together so techniques and pacing match the person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. They also let someone connect with a therapist experienced in cultural adjustment and ADHD support without needing to change location, which can help maintain continuity of care.
