About Sharon

Sharon Noble-Layng is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She works with clients who are facing life changes and difficult emotional experiences. Sharon aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space for people to start talking and planning next steps.

She has four years of professional experience in counselling and has worked with several charities during that time.

Background and approach

Sharon uses a client-centred approach, which means she listens closely and adapts conversations to what each person needs. Sessions are shaped around an individual's goals rather than following a fixed script. In practical terms Sharon tailors the pace and topics to suit each person.

She will help you break down problems into manageable steps and focus on what matters most right now. Typical topics include coping with loss, reducing day-to-day anxiety, and recovering from past abuse. Her work pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame, isolation and struggles with self-worth.

Sharon also supports people dealing with immigration-related challenges and relationship patterns such as avoidant behaviour or difficulties around trust and control. People can expect straightforward conversations and a plan that grows from their own priorities. Sharon encourages small, achievable changes and helps clients notice progress as they go.

She welcomes questions about how sessions will run and what to expect next.

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.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Sharon uses a client-centred approach that prioritises the person’s perspective. In practice this means the counsellor listens, reflects and follows the topics you bring, helping you clarify what matters and set realistic goals. This style is useful for issues like anxiety, depression, grief and recovery from trauma because it centres your experience rather than imposing a plan.

Online sessions keep that same collaborative spirit. The therapist will help you and her decide which methods suit your needs and preferences. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust the plan if something does not feel helpful; the focus is on finding what fits you best.

Sharon offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make counselling easier to fit into everyday life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you need a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer shorter written exchanges or want to reflect before replying. These options support flexibility and make it easier to access help from home or during a work break.
