About Sharon
AASW accredited social worker with five years' experience, Sharon Minjire helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life transitions. She also supports clients concerned about ADHD and related daily challenges. Sharon practices in Australia and offers sessions in English and Swahili.
Sharon draws on work across community and clinical settings. Her recent role was as a Mental Health Clinician at headspace Adelaide in an Early Psychosis team. She has also done case management in crisis housing and child protection, and worked as a Specialist Support Coordinator under the National Disability Insurance Scheme. Before migrating she practised corporate law and is an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps rather than jargon. She helps people make sense of anxiety and perfectionism, improve communication, and adjust to new jobs, study or moving to another country. Her work with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds informs how she discusses identity and belonging.
Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and skill-building. She names approaches such as acceptance and commitment strategies, strengths-based perspectives, solution-focused work, narrative techniques and dialectical behaviour ideas alongside social work principles. These are used to help with mood, panic, relationship questions and caregiver stress.
Outside work she likes hiking, beach walks and trying new cuisines with family. She describes herself as someone who listens and helps people build self-awareness and a sense of connection.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and commitment approaches focus on noticing thoughts and values and taking small actions toward what matters. This can help with anxiety, low mood and decisions about life changes.Solution-focused and strengths-based work centres on identifying existing resources and practical steps. It suits people who want brief, goal-oriented sessions to change specific behaviours or routines.
Narrative and dialectical behaviour ideas help when emotions are intense or when someone wants to reframe difficult experiences. These methods provide tools for regulating strong feelings and making sense of personal stories.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what methods match their needs, goals and preferences. This is revisited as progress is made so methods can change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue continuity of care when life circumstances change, provided the chosen format suits the person's practical needs.
