About Sharon
Sharon Anderson is a British counsellor with more than two decades of practice. She welcomes people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, grief or relationship difficulties. Her manner is warm and patient, and she aims to make talking about hard things feel simpler and less overwhelming.
She trained in counselling psychology and holds a Master of Science degree, and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Background and approach
She also holds a licence to practise in Jamaica and the Caribbean, which informs her understanding of cross-cultural and diaspora experiences. Sharon has worked in many settings, including clinics, universities, schools, churches and community organisations. That background means she has experience supporting people with depression, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, trauma and loss, and a range of life transitions.
Her style blends client-centred listening with techniques drawn from several approaches. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual, with practical tools offered alongside deeper exploration of attachment, beliefs and relationship patterns. When helpful, Sharon can include spiritual counselling or creative methods such as therapeutic play.
She aims to adapt the process to each person’s needs and preferences, and to create a clear plan for moving forward. She offers work remotely to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Getting started typically involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session where priorities and goals are set.
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Sharon commonly uses attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural therapy as part of her sessions. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape current patterns and help with problems such as intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and relationship difficulties. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping skills.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit you. Plans are adjusted as you go, so the method evolves from a conversation rather than a fixed prescription.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and reading body language. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who find it easier to put thoughts into writing. These options help therapy fit around work, family life and travel, while keeping continuity between appointments.
