About Sharon

Sharon Anderson is a BACP-registered psychotherapist with 24 years of practice across the UK and internationally. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges and identity or cultural dislocation. Sharon aims to make the first step feel manageable and meets people with warmth and steady presence.

She draws on person-centred ways of working that focus on listening and building trust. Sharon blends that with practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy to help manage overwhelming feelings.

Background and approach

Attachment-focused ideas often guide work around relationship patterns and past losses. Sharon has experience in clinical, university, school, church and community settings. Her background includes work with people who have moved countries or who feel part of an international diaspora.

She also offers a spiritual counselling option when clients want to include faith or meaning in their sessions. Sessions can include conversation, structured skill practice, or creative methods such as therapeutic play when that suits the client. Sharon describes her style as warm, interactive and accepting, and tailors the pace to each person.

Her aim is to help people find practical ways to cope and to rebuild a sense of balance. Sharon welcomes people who want support with grief, addictions, ADHD, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and wider emotional concerns. She works collaboratively to set goals and to adapt methods to each person's needs.

How Sharon's approaches work online

Sharon uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when someone wants to understand connection, abandonment or repeated relationship difficulties. She also uses trauma-focused ideas to address the effects of past harm and adverse childhood experiences, helping people process memories and reduce their impact on daily life. Sharon combines these with client-centred listening so the work follows the person's pace and priorities.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will discuss goals and preferences in the first sessions and suggest which methods to try. She adapts techniques to each person's situation and checks in regularly to see what helps and what needs changing.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy or geographically scattered lives. Video calls let you use visual cues and mirror much of an in-person session, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and travel schedules while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
