I have worked as a psychologist in a variety of clinical settings dealing with occupational, clinical and forensic issues. In these settings I have provided individual and group therapy, crisis intervention and psychological assessment services.
The focus of my practice is to facilitate the client's self-concept and self-esteem. Issues include anger management; addictions; depression; sexual assault/domestic violence; PTSD; career counseling; and multicultural and diverse populations, among others.
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.

Clients often come to therapy and tell me that they just want to feel better. This feeling of wanting things to change is a great starting point, and we will start by working together to establish what this means for you and your life. I work with adults and young people aged 14+ on a range of issues and experiences. A therapeutic relationship based on equality, acceptance and authenticity is really important to me. You aren't taking this journey alone - I am with you every step of the way.
