Sharyn Brew

Sharyn Brew is a counsellor who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, anger and parenting worries. She also supports those dealing with trauma, ADHD and the emotional effects of childbirth and pregnancy. Her style is calm and practical, aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable for parents and carers.

Sharyn trained through the Child Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Association of Australia and is a member of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA). She brings eight years of listed experience in the context of a longer clinical background working with children and families. That background informs how she notices patterns between a child’s behaviour and the wider family context.

In sessions she focuses on helping people name feelings and spot what keeps problems repeating. She offers straightforward ways to respond to anger and behavioural challenges at home or school. Parents can expect practical discussion about routines, boundaries and how to respond when emotions run high.

Sharyn pays attention to attachment and to the ways past trauma can shape current behaviour. She works with guilt, shame and post-traumatic stress concerns in an age-appropriate way when relevant. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and build skills a parent or carer can use between sessions.

Sessions are conducted in English and arranged from Australia. People thinking about starting are invited to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs. The subscription can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Sharyn works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and emotional regulation. One approach helps people recognise patterns between feelings and behaviour, useful for anger and parenting challenges. Another approach emphasises attachment and early relationship patterns, which helps when past trauma or intergenerational issues affect how a child or carer responds.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's goals, needs and day-to-day routine. Sessions can blend listening, practical coaching and skill-building so clients leave with clear actions to try between meetings.

The specific session formats available are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people join from different parts of Australia without changing their local routine.
