Phone call

For people who live long distance or prefer to talk on the phone, this option is here for you, express yourself without travelling cost, private conversations where ever you are at the time.

As we all know, life and challenges can happen at any time, even if we are on holidays, away for work, you just need to talk to someone who genuinely cares, has empathy and understands your needs and supports you when you need it most. I'm available to hear and listen with a non judgmental approach. So call and make a booking today.

Zoom Video Call

This service functions similarly to a traditional phone call, but it provides the added benefit of a Zoom video call, allowing for face-to-face interaction. This format enables individuals to connect on a deeper level, no matter where they are in the world, fostering a sense of being heard and supported.

Research shows that around 70% of communication is nonverbal. Through a Zoom video call, I can effectively interpret body language and other nonverbal cues, gaining valuable insights into what may not be articulated verbally.

Face-To-Face

Face-to-face counselling offers a supportive environment where clients can build a meaningful therapeutic relationship with their counsellor. This setting provides a safe and comfortable space to open up, explore personal challenges, and begin the healing journey. The collaborative nature of these sessions fosters trust and understanding, empowering clients to grow and achieve their goals. Typically conducted in the counsellor’s professional office, this mode of counselling ensures a private and welcoming atmosphere for effective communication and connection.

ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Sharlene, and I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges with empathy, understanding, and genuine care. Walking along the beautiful Shell Cove Marina is one of my favorite ways to recharge—it connects me to nature, clears my mind, and reminds me how transformative simple self-care practices can be. Inspired by the positive impact it has on my own wellbeing, I decided to integrate this energizing experience into my professional counselling services.

I bring over 18 years of professional experience in the Child Development and Community Services sectors, with roles such as Community Liaison Officer, Student Wellbeing Officer, and various positions supporting families and children. My personal journey as a wife, mother of two young men, and someone who has navigated the complexities of single parenting and blended family life has equipped me with deep empathy and understanding of modern family dynamics.

My Qualifications

Diploma in Counselling
Diploma in Community Services Work and Children’s Services
Certified in Mental Health First Aid and SafeTALK Suicide Prevention Skills
Registered member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA)

Why I Do What I Do

I believe everyone deserves a safe space to feel heard and supported. My approach is built on authenticity, compassion, and respect. Whether walking together by the marina or working in a more traditional setting, I aim to create an environment where you can feel comfortable to explore, heal, and grow.

With over 12 years of experience in schools and communities, I’ve developed a natural ability to build rapport, offer non-judgmental support, and empower individuals to make meaningful changes in their lives.

A Little More About Me

My life experiences—raising my own family, working in the childcare industry, and supporting diverse communities—have shaped me into the person I am today. I’m warm, attentive, and deeply committed to helping people discover their inner strength and navigate life’s complexities with confidence.

If you’re ready to feel empowered, supported, and understood, let’s connect. Together, we’ll walk through life’s challenges and uncover new possibilities.
