After pursuing studies on a part-time basis while raising her children, Sharon enrolled as a full-time student at the University of Stellenbosch in 2004 and registered as a Counselling Psychologist in 2006 after obtaining her Master’s degree (cum laude). She completed her internship with an NGO, Good Hope Psychological Services under the supervision of Elzabé Broekmann (Counselling Psychologist and founder member of this NGO) and her husband, Prof. Neil Broekmann (Clinical Psychologist), thereby gaining valuable experience in both clinical and counselling settings. While building up her private practice, she remained in the employ of the NGO offering counselling services at a number of schools in the area, and working very closely with the social workers in the community. At the same time, she also worked at FAMSA, gaining rich and diverse experience in dealing with family related matters. She qualified as a mediator with FAMAC and is very actively involved in the drafting of parenting plans to guide parents going through the process of divorce and separation. She specialises in hearing the voice of the child as the family transitions through these changes. Sharon is currently a faculty member at Cornerstone Institute where she works as a part-time lecturer specialising in Family Psychology and Psychometric Assessment. This allows her to remain up-to-date with latest research and be actively involved in shaping the next generation of counsellors and psychologists. She supervises students in their postgraduate programmes, and also offers supervision to Registered Counsellors and fellow psychologists.
