About Sharon
Sharon Strickland is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and has four years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and other life challenges. Sharon offers a calm, listening approach that aims to help people feel understood and less overwhelmed.
She meets clients where they are and tailors sessions to individual needs. Sessions focus on making small, practical changes and understanding the feelings that get in the way.
Background and approach
Sharon draws on client-centred work to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult emotions. Her approach also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try new responses. Psychodynamic themes are included too, when it helps to look at past patterns that affect current behaviour.
These methods are blended rather than used in a fixed formula, so the work can shift as needs change. Sharon often supports people coping with relationship strain, family problems, low self-esteem and trauma-related issues. She also works with people facing panic, phobias, self-harm concerns and social anxiety.
Conversations can cover practical coping strategies as well as exploring deeper feelings and patterns. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sharon uses a collaborative style and encourages clients to set the pace and goals for therapy.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled according to therapist availability.
How Sharon’s approaches fit with online therapy
Sharon uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to guide online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and safe to talk about what matters. This approach helps with emotional distress, low self-esteem and relationship worries.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It is practical and goal-focused, so it can help with panic, phobias, anxiety and mood problems by teaching new ways to respond to triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways to combine methods. Decisions about techniques and pace are made collaboratively so therapy fits the individual.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written conversation or who want flexible, ongoing contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical coping.
