Sharleen Ann, Trainee Counselor

From a young age, I was drawn to the power of empathy and compassionate listening. As I witnessed friends and family members confiding in me, seeking solace and guidance, I realized the immense impact that a supportive presence can have on one's well-being. This realization fueled my determination to dedicate myself to the field of counseling, where I could turn my innate sense of empathy into a profession.

I am driven by a profound passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges and find their inner strength and resilience. Guided by empathy and compassion, my core values form the bedrock of my counseling practice, fostering a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely. Ultimately, my goal is to make a positive and lasting impact on the lives of those I work with. It would be an honor to be a part of your transformative journey, and I am eager to contribute my skills and passion to the counseling profession.

I would describe myself as a person who is warm, genuine, and shamelessly laughs at my own jokes. In my free time, I love watching cooking and home organizer videos, binge-watching old school sitcoms, and occasionally baking something.

Testimonials

  • “Sharleen is very kind and detailed-oriented. She remembers little things I’ve mentioned and I really appreciate it!”


    — V.

  • "As a person who is very intimidated by any female personels (eg, Dr, police), Sharleen instantly made me feel safe and we both have a great chemistry that makes me comfortable to talk to her. Coming from a person who has changed therapists four times, Sharleen certainly is a catch.”

  • “At my 8th session mark and I must say the progress I’ve made along the way is just amazing and that’s thanks to my therapist Sharleen! Cause no way this would be possible without her to be honest. I was pretty much in a terrible space; so much so I’ve given up on myself and life when i first went there. But with the sessions, different methods of reframing mindset, homework that is now part of my routine, boy i am a whole different person. I feel so much more happy and healthy in my mind that I can spread that to others around me. I am super grateful to have found a therapist that was super patient and supportive throughout my sessions and it’s genuinely changed my perspective. Thank you so much Sharleen!”

  • “I worked with Sharleen within 2 to 3 sessions and even though it was for a short period of time, she gave me some clarity on certain situations. It started off as a career counselling session, then I realised that I also had deeper issues personally. So it became a personal counselling session instead. Sharleen was very understanding and managed to lead me to understand the reasons behind my childhood trauma as a person. So it kickstarted my journey to heal myself. No judgement and prejudice. Our sessions were very comfortable and it felt like I'm talking to a friend. Although I'm better now, but if given the chance to work again with her, I would definitely do so!”
