My Story

Welcome, I’m Sharyn Renshaw, a compassionate and dedicated Psychologist, working within the realm of Exclusive Wellbeing in the vibrant heart of Parramatta, Western Sydney.

I understand that life can present many challenges and can sometimes bring exposure to unexpected events with profound impact and ongoing echoes. In my 30 years of practice as a psychologist I have held a passion for supporting individuals attempting to traverse life’s difficulties with particular attention to those who have experienced trauma. Trauma comes in many forms and from many sources and its impact and pathway toward healing is as individual as the person making this journey.

I am experienced working with individuals with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), including Emergency Service Personnel, whether this trauma is resulting from a single incident or exposure to multiple events over time. I have worked extensively with individuals experiencing complex trauma emerging from childhood abuse, family violence and other distressing intrusive experiences. Supporting people with attachment issues, interpersonal difficulties, personality disorders, depression, anxiety and compulsions has been a natural extension of my work.

Guided by our core values of integrity, authenticity, compassion, connection, growth and development, and appreciation of individualisation, I’m here to understand your current worries, concerns, and triggers. My mission is to help you navigate through these challenges, resourcing you with the tools and skills needed to address and overcome them. Through attentive listening, I explore what surfaces in your life, causing difficulties, and together, we clarify and define your goals, paving a path towards profound shifts, healing and a more present and meaningful life.

I offer trauma informed therapy underpinned by polyvagal theory, integrating psychodynamic and somatic approaches (body-based interventions recognising mind body connections). I also draw extensively upon transformative modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to support your personal recovery journey.

My work has been informed from working across diverse industries such as psychological recovery, employment placement, rehabilitation, intellectual disability, and aged care. Exploring leadership positions, I successfully completed a Masters of Management, gaining invaluable insight into the human experience within work environments and the significance of meaningful activity in shaping supportive and multi-faceted settings. As a proud member of the Australian Psychological Society for over 10 years, I’m dedicated to upholding the highest standards.

At Exclusive Wellbeing in Parramatta, you’ll find me available for bookings on Monday, Wednesday to Friday (9am to 5pm). I work across the adult population and provide General Private Services, services under Medicare with attractive rebates, and support under SIRA (Workers Compensation), CTP and Comcare.

For any inquiries please contact the practice at  info@exclusivewellbeing.com.au. I’m continually inspired by the individuals who seek my support, and I’m genuinely excited to join you on your transformative path. Together, we’ll embrace the transformative power of authenticity, connection, and individualisation, forging a brighter path towards personal growth, healing, and fulfillment.
