How Sharon applies therapeutic techniques online
Sharon commonly uses humanistic and integrative methods alongside cognitive-behavioural ideas. The humanistic element focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience, helping them feel heard and seen. Cognitive-behavioural techniques look at unhelpful thinking patterns and introduce practical steps to manage anxiety and stress.She also uses aspects of existential and person-centred work to help people clarify values and life purpose. These approaches help when someone feels stuck or uncertain about direction. Sharon will explain different options and work with the person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Sharon treats this as a collaborative process and checks in regularly to see what is helping. Together they set goals, review progress and adjust the plan if needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, study or family routines.
