About Sharon
Sharon Minjire is an Accredited Social Worker with the AASW and has five years' experience in mental health and social work. She has worked as a Mental Health Clinician at headspace Adelaide on an Early Psychosis team and has provided case management in crisis housing and child protection. Sharon supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, life changes and ADHD.
She helps people adjust to big transitions like starting university, moving to a new country or beginning a first job. Sharon has supported clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and brings that experience into sessions. Her background also includes time as a Specialist Support Coordinator under the NDIS, and earlier training in corporate law and advocacy in Kenya.
In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to work on practical goals. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy and elements from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Conversations focus on building self-awareness and practical skills to manage mood and anxiety.
Sharon aims to reduce isolation and help people find stronger connections and a clearer sense of purpose. She also works with caregiver stress, communication problems, grief, guilt and issues around attachment. Discussions typically include developing coping strategies and problem-solving steps that fit day-to-day life.
Outside of work she enjoys hiking, beach walks and trying different cuisines with family. She speaks English and Swahili and practices in Australia.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Sharon commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions based on their values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and clear goals so people can see progress between sessions.Finding the best approach is part of the process. Sharon will work with clients to identify which techniques fit their needs and preferences, adjusting methods as goals change. This is a collaborative process that centres on what helps the person manage study, work, relationships and transitions more effectively.
