Sharn Stewart, BACP

Sharn Stewart is an integrative counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who works with people facing trauma, autism, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. She has particular experience supporting college and university staff and students and adapts her interventions to meet each person where they are. Sharn combines different evidence-based techniques into a tailored approach so therapy reflects the individual strengths, needs, and preferences of the person she is working with.

She recognises how overwhelming and isolating life can feel, and understands that being authentic and vulnerable can seem risky after difficult or traumatic experiences. Working together at a pace that feels manageable, Sharn helps people make sense of their history, emotions, relationships, and patterns of coping so they can move forward with greater confidence and authenticity.

Sharn offers a genuinely person-centred style and places emphasis on a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental therapeutic relationship. She holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on a variety of therapeutic methods to create a safe, nurturing space for exploration and growth. When someone is ready to begin, she supports gradual, client-led progress toward meaningful change.

Approaches for remote healing and practical support

Sharn uses an integrative counselling approach, blending complementary evidence-based techniques to tailor sessions to each person. Integrative counselling means selecting methods that suit the client - for example combining talking therapies, coping strategies, and reflective work - to address issues such as anxiety, depression, and problems related to neurodiversity.

She also works from a person-centred framework, which focuses on understanding the individual and creating a compassionate, non-judgemental space. This approach helps people explore feelings of shame, isolation, or attachment difficulties at their own pace and supports self-directed growth.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Sharn collaborates with clients to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing support from licensed professionals while balancing work, study, or other commitments.
