Background and approach

She uses that as a starting point and helps people find their own strengths. Sessions are practical and conversational, with an emphasis on clear goals and steady progress. People often come with worries about mood, panic or social anxiety.

Other areas she supports include chronic pain and illness, traumatic brain injury, infidelity, and questions about life purpose. Her main approach is Client-Centred Therapy, which keeps the clients perspective central.

Sharon prefers to meet by video call and uses messaging to arrange assessments and appointments. She aims for a flexible schedule to suit different routines. Sharon speaks English and works with adults in the United Kingdom.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Practical next steps are simple: complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session to see how the work feels.

Ways of working Sharon names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-Centred care online and flexible ways to meet

Sharon uses Client-Centred Therapy, which places the person's own experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, follows what matters most to the client and helps people name goals and next steps. This approach suits concerns like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and trauma where feeling heard and understood is central.

Online work can be adapted to individual needs and the therapist will collaborate to find the best fit. Sharon will discuss what methods feel most helpful and adjust the pace and focus as the relationship develops. That choice is part of the therapeutic process and is decided together based on your goals and preferences.

Practical benefits of online therapy include flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that is preferred. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who find typed communication easier. These options make it easier to work around work, family and mobility needs while keeping therapy consistent.
