Background and approach

She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is causing distress and what small steps might help. Her practice draws on several ways of working, including client-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas alongside psychodynamic thinking. She mixes these approaches to suit each person rather than using one fixed method.

This means sessions can include exploring current patterns, trying practical coping strategies, and talking about past experiences when helpful. Over 14 years Sharron has supported people through major life changes, grief, relationship issues and problems such as codependency, abandonment and infidelity. She also helps with anger, communication difficulties, blended family challenges and recovering from domestic violence or separation.

The first sessions focus on understanding what matters most and setting simple, realistic goals. Sharron aims to help people build confidence, improve coping, and make changes that fit their everyday life. Practical steps and regular review are part of how she works.

Approaches and how online therapy helps

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions. It is useful for improving self-esteem, building confidence and feeling heard.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect feelings. It uses practical exercises and strategies to reduce anxiety and manage symptoms day to day. This approach often helps with stress, panic and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharron will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person's situation. Decisions about which approach to use are made together and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or messaging can fit into a busy day and help keep momentum between longer sessions. These formats give flexibility so therapy can be scheduled around work, family and other commitments.
