Remote care tailored for children and families
Sharyn offers remote sessions that reflect her background as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and a registered clinical counsellor. The psychoanalytic perspective supports exploration of developmental histories, relational patterns, and emotional responses in children and adolescents, while clinical counselling focuses on present concerns and collaborative problem solving with caregivers.
These complementary approaches are presented in accessible ways for families: sessions may involve guided conversation with parents or direct work with a young person, aiming to understand behaviours and the feelings beneath them. Sharyn describes the work as collaborative, involving parents or carers when appropriate to support changes at home and in school settings.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow families to choose a channel that fits their needs and to maintain ongoing contact between appointments as needed.
