About Me

IHi, I’m Sharon Bard – a counsellor, facilitator, and someone who’s passionate about helping people navigate life’s big challenges.

​

I’ve spent over 30 years working in the disability and health sectors in various roles, both here and overseas. Whether it’s a new diagnosis, retirement, or relationship challenges – I’m here to support you as you find your way forward.

​

My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and real-world experience. I hold a Master’s in Counselling and bring a trauma-informed, evidence-based lens to all my work. I draw on a range of therapies, including CBT, Solution Focused, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness practices – all tailored to suit your needs.

​

In the past, I’ve led not-for-profits, run businesses supporting people with disabilities into education and work, and facilitated workshops for local councils and community groups on emotional intelligence, communication, and self-awareness, personal growth and self-care.

​

I’ve worked with carers, couples, individuals, and communities. And through it all, I’ve learnt that with the right support, change is possible – and often, something wonderful grows from it.
