Background and approach

That experience informs how she supports people through trauma, grief and the aftermath of relationship harm. Therapeutically she draws on client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking, along with solution-focused and trauma-focused approaches when helpful. These tools are used to address things like sleep problems, low self-esteem, anger, and major life changes.

Sharon also works with issues related to parenting, career, ADHD and chronic illness. She combines talk, reflection and goal-setting to help people feel more able to cope and to rebuild interest in work, relationships or daily life. Sessions are available online in the United Kingdom and to international clients in English.

The process begins by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a time that suits the client.

How Sharon’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own solutions, which can help with low self-esteem, relationship worries and general anxiety.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. It is practical and can help with sleep problems, panic, persistent worry and low mood by teaching coping strategies.

Psychodynamic work looks at patterns from past relationships and life events that repeat in the present. This can be useful for understanding attachment, abandonment feelings and long-standing emotional difficulties.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to agree what feels most helpful based on their goals and preferences. Sessions may adapt over time as needs change.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when a quieter connection or hands-free conversation is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing notes or quicker support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
