About Sheree
PACFA. 25 years of experience. Sheree James works with adults on addictions, relationship concerns and trauma-related issues using evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
Sheree uses counselling and relationship work to help people address intimacy-related problems and communication breakdowns. She also offers coaching around workplace challenges and leadership issues, drawing on over 10 years of executive coaching experience mentioned in her background. Her practice includes support for those affected by divorce and separation, mood disorders, social anxiety and phobia, and post-traumatic stress.
Her background references trauma-informed practice and workplace conflict resolution. That means sessions address the effects of past harm and practical steps for improving interactions at work and at home. She also notes experience with pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, and with providing therapeutic guidance where behaviour is complex.
Sheree has experience providing functional assessments and therapeutic support for children and young people with complex behavioural needs, as stated in the biography. The profile does not list formal programme names here; readers should check details if they need a specific intervention for a child.
Sessions are described as using evidence-based practice alongside counselling and coaching. The profile emphasises practical conversation, behaviour-focused strategies and relationship work rather than abstract theory. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling options before booking.
Sheree practices in Australia and conducts work in English. Her credential is PACFA, the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia, as stated by the counsellor in her biography.
Approaches used and how online sessions operate
Sheree describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, applied through counselling and relationship-focused sessions. One common approach she uses is trauma-informed practice, which pays attention to how past harm affects current feelings and relationships, and supports steps to reduce reactivity and rebuild trust. Another approach is relationship therapy and communication work, which focuses on practical skills for clearer conversation, boundary-setting and resolving conflicts. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how symptoms are showing up, then decide together which methods to try and how to adjust them over time. Practical benefits of online sessions should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time and allow a quicker check-in when schedules are tight. If specific session formats matter, confirm the available options with the service before scheduling so the chosen approach and format match personal needs and daily routines.Areas of expertise
