Sharon Strickland, BACP

Sharon Strickland is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers empathetic, non-judgemental support to young people and adults facing a wide range of life difficulties. With four years of professional experience and accredited membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP (Accred)), she combines practical skills and reflective practice to tailor therapy to each person’s needs.

Working from an integrative perspective, Sharon blends different counselling theories to create a personalised approach, helping clients explore feelings, clarify goals, and develop coping strategies. She creates a warm, respectful space where individuals can feel heard and understood while they work through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, or transitions in life.

In addition to her counselling practice, Sharon carries out clinical supervision and supports other counsellors in their professional development. She offers therapy in English and provides several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sharon welcomes enquiries to see whether counselling could help someone move forward, and she works collaboratively with each person to decide the best path for their journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship in which the client’s perspective guides the pace and direction of work. It helps people build self-awareness, self-acceptance, and confidence to manage emotional difficulties and life decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps clients identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, panic, phobias, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be addressed collaboratively. Sharon works with each person to explore their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt techniques from different approaches to find the best fit with the client’s situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from licensed professionals without geographic constraints.
