Sharon Jacobson is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in Sydney. She works with people across Australia through a nationwide telehealth service from Sydney NSW 2000. For many clients, that means easier appointments from home, school, or work, without the stress of travel.
Sharon helps with everyday mental health problems that can build up over time. Sessions often focus on anxiety and low mood, including when worries feel constant or when it’s hard to switch off at night. She also looks at stress patterns, burnout feelings, and the way life changes can affect sleep, motivation, and day-to-day confidence.
Individual counselling is the main format, with a calm, practical approach that aims to make things feel more manageable. At times, people come in unsure what is wrong, but they know something feels off. In many cases, Sharon helps sort out what’s driving the problem, then works through steps that can be used between sessions too.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is one of the key tools she uses. CBT can help when thoughts loop, when avoidance makes anxiety stronger, or when harsh self-talk keeps depression going. The sessions usually break things into smaller parts, so it’s easier to see what to change. Stress management techniques are also part of the work, especially when the body feels “on edge” or overwhelmed.
Anxiety and depression screening may be used to get a clearer picture early on. This can help with tracking how things are going and spotting patterns that need attention. Mindfulness training can also be included, particularly for clients who want to feel more grounded in the present moment rather than stuck in worry or regret.
Sharon’s practice is built around listening first, then working together on skills that suit real life. People often find it helpful that the focus stays practical and kind, not judgemental. Over time, the aim is for clients to feel more in control, with strategies they can rely on when things get tough again.
Appointments are available by telehealth, which can be useful for people who prefer face-to-face work less often, or who need flexible times due to work, caring duties, or distance. Sharon Jacobson’s work in psychology is focused on helping clients move forward, step by step.
