About Sharon
Sharon Silver is a BACP counsellor with nine years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She welcomes people who are looking for one-to-one support and aims to build a steady therapeutic relationship. Sharon describes reaching out as a first step toward change and focuses on helping people feel more balanced in their mind and body.
Her background is integrative, so she draws on different approaches to match each person's needs.
Background and approach
In sessions she uses practical, conversational work alongside mindfulness and cognitive techniques. She will listen to what matters to you and suggest ways to manage distress, low mood, anxiety or sleep problems. Sharon also supports people dealing with grief and loss, and she has pursued additional training around menopausal concerns.
She works with issues linked to relationships and parenting, including the personal strain that can come from caring for others. Many clients come with concerns about self-esteem, body image or eating and food-related problems, and Sharon offers steady, non-judgemental support while discussing patterns and coping strategies.
She also works with people who are affected by trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, anger, and life changes. Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused thinking, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practice. Sharon aims to help people notice what matters to them, try manageable changes and build more helpful habits over time.

Approaches and online therapy that suit daily life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than fighting every uncomfortable feeling. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change repeated ways of relating that cause distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will listen to your concerns, try out methods together and adapt the work to what helps you most. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and reviewed as you progress.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow a fuller conversation and visual contact, phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences, and they let therapists and clients focus on practical changes and coping strategies even when meeting remotely.
