About Sharon
Her integrative approach draws on a range of therapeutic theories, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Gestalt, Person-Centred work, psychodynamic and existential ideas, and Transactional Analysis. By blending these methods she tailors sessions to each person's needs, balancing evidence-based strategies with humanistic, person-focused reflection. Sharon describes the therapeutic environment as compassionate and collaborative, focused on helping individuals gain clarity, develop coping skills, and move toward more meaningful, balanced lives.
Sharon is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates membership in a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She welcomes those who are ready to take the step of seeking support and aims to guide and empower them through practical goal-setting and thoughtful exploration of their experiences.
Evidence-informed approaches and online therapy options
Sharon commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which helps people identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and learn practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. She also draws on Person-Centred principles that prioritise empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own resources to foster self-awareness and personal growth. Additionally, Gestalt techniques may be used to increase present-moment awareness and explore relational patterns that affect current difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Sharon works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are adapted over time so the chosen approach can evolve alongside the client’s progress and changing priorities.
Online therapy with Sharon is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, support continuity of care, and allow therapy to fit more naturally into everyday life while maintaining a professional therapeutic relationship with a qualified therapist.
