About Sharon
Sharon Silver is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She offers one-to-one support and aims to build a strong therapeutic relationship that helps people feel steadier in mind, body and spirit. Sharon welcomes people who are finding life hard and takes a non-judgemental approach from the first contact.
She uses an integrative approach, blending methods to match each person’s needs rather than applying a single technique.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings as well as time to talk through painful feelings. Sharon often supports those facing stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and parenting worries. Her work also covers relationship matters such as communication problems, intimacy-related concerns, and issues that arise from blended family dynamics.
People bring eating and sleeping difficulties, anger or coping with big life changes, and Sharon helps them notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Sharon’s practice draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work alongside client-centred and mindfulness methods.
She has particular interest in menopause-related change and in caregiver strain, and has completed further training in those areas. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. Sharon describes reaching out for help as a step towards change, and she aims to support people as they develop more agency over how they respond to life’s challenges.
How Sharon’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters to them. It uses simple exercises to build willingness to act towards chosen values, which can ease anxiety and stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies for changing patterns like avoidance or rumination. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns from the past and how they affect current relationships, which can help with intimacy and communication concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon discusses goals and preferences with each person and tries different methods when needed. The aim is a collaborative plan that matches what feels most helpful for an individual at a given time.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer audio only. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
