About Sharon

Sharon Parke is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 17 years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, family conflict, grief and relationship concerns. Sharon aims to make the first step easier and stays alongside people as they work towards clearer days.

Sharon believes clients are the experts in their own stories. She looks for strengths that can be used to manage current problems.

Background and approach

In sessions she helps people talk through what matters most and find practical ways to cope. Her approach is down-to-earth and collaborative. Sharon listens without judgement and asks questions that help people notice patterns and options.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotional pain and unhelpful habits. Sharon has worked with issues such as self-esteem, intimacy-related worries, career stress and compassion fatigue. She also supports those facing domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse, fertility concerns, and multicultural or prejudice-related struggles.

Her practice includes attention to guilt, shame and forgiveness work. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sharon explains how the process works and helps people choose formats that fit their life.

Taking that first step involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to begin.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Sharon lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Evidence-based approaches and online support

Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding the problem and building practical skills. One common approach she uses helps people notice unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then practice alternative responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method is useful for stress, anxiety, depression and everyday coping challenges. She also draws on trauma-informed ways of working that prioritise safety and pacing. These methods slow the process down when needed, help people make sense of traumatic experiences, and build tolerance for difficult emotions over time. This can be helpful for those recovering from abuse, sexual assault or domestic violence. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and how each method might fit the person's situation. Together they try options and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online sessions make therapy more accessible and flexible. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversations and suit longer work or deeper discussion. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging offer short check-ins or a way to share thoughts between sessions. These formats help fit therapy into busy lives and varied routines.
