Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Sharyn Brew draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a psychoanalytic psychotherapy foundation to help children, adolescents, and caregivers explore emotions, relationships, and patterns that can show up at home or school. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy focuses on understanding feelings and behaviour in the context of development and relationships, which can be especially helpful when a child is struggling with big emotions, ongoing stress, or repeated behavioural challenges.Her work can also support families where trauma may have been experienced across generations. A trauma-informed lens helps make sense of stress responses and coping strategies, and supports caregivers and young people in building steadier ways to respond to triggers without placing blame.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharyn works collaboratively with clients and caregivers to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped so far, and adjust the focus over time based on needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy households and families managing school and routines. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, with the option of live chat or text-based messaging to stay connected between appointments and to fit support around daily life.
