About Sharon

Sharon Strickland is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people navigate stress, anxiety and life changes. She holds BACP accreditation and brings four years of practice to each session. Sharon adopts a warm, non-judgemental style and focuses on listening carefully to what matters to each person.

Sharon uses a mix of counselling ideas rather than one fixed method. She adapts sessions to match what someone needs and prefers.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on understanding feelings, noticing patterns, and finding small steps that feel manageable. People come to Sharon for issues such as low mood, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, and career worries. She also works with concerns like panic attacks, phobias, body image, self-harm and loneliness.

Sessions aim to help clients build coping skills and clearer thinking for day-to-day life. Her approach is collaborative. Sharon helps clients set goals and checks in about what is helpful or needs to change.

She uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioural work alongside more reflective psychodynamic thinking and a client-centred focus. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged as video calls, phone meetings, live chat or text-based messaging. Starting is straightforward: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.

How Sharon’s approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and understood. Sessions focus on the client’s experience, with the counsellor offering empathy and reflection to help people make sense of their feelings. This approach suits anyone who needs space to talk and feel supported.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and strategies to reduce anxiety, manage panic attacks, or tackle low mood. CBT is useful when someone wants tools they can use between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Sharon will discuss goals and preferences and adapt techniques over time. She works collaboratively to find what helps most, mixing reflective listening with practical skills where appropriate.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video is good for fuller conversation and body language. Phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options aim to increase flexibility and allow sessions around work, travel or family life.
