Background and approach

Sharen draws on a range of talking therapies to meet individual needs. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and action, and attachment-based thinking to understand relationship patterns. She also uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and client-centred work to support emotional regulation and self-compassion.

She has long experience supporting people who have survived physical, emotional and sexual abuse, domestic violence and human trafficking. She also works with people facing chronic illness, caregiving strain, career change and issues around intimacy and body image. Sharen practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients through online formats.

Therapy approaches and online sessions

Sharen commonly blends cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which is useful for anxiety, phobias and sleep or eating difficulties. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to the person and taking small steps towards those values, which helps with depression, coping with life change and long‑term conditions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and together choose which techniques to try. That collaborative process means methods are adapted over time to fit what helps most for the individual.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit deeper conversational work and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat may fit a brief check‑in and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs while still accessing therapists and registered or accredited professionals.
