Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes. Psychodynamic ideas help look at how past patterns may shape present feelings. Sessions are conversational and plain-spoken.

Sharon helps people talk through low mood, panic, relationship worries, family problems and self-esteem struggles. She also supports those facing panic attacks, phobias, social anxiety and life changes. Therapy aims to make daily life feel more manageable, not to rush progress.

Sharon often helps people dealing with trauma, abuse, control issues, domestic violence and feelings of guilt or shame. She also works with concerns such as body image, loneliness, career stress and parenting strain. Work may include looking at attachment patterns and communication problems.

Her practical focus means setting small goals and trying out new ways of coping between sessions. People meet by phone, video, live chat or text-based messaging so therapy can fit around work and family life. To begin, the service asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Sharon’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting space where people can talk and be heard. The counsellor aims to reflect feelings and help clients find their own solutions, which suits emotional issues like low self-esteem and relationship worry.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It breaks problems down into manageable steps and uses practical exercises to reduce panic, worry and phobias.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. Sharon will discuss goals, try approaches that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the work as therapy progresses. This collaborative way helps people feel involved in decisions about their care.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations, phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging allow short, focused exchanges or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments, while still using the same therapeutic methods as in-person work.
