Background and approach
Her practice draws on several ways of working so each plan is tailored to the person. She uses client-centred ideas to follow what matters to the client, cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thoughts and actions, and psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns from the past. This mix helps her adapt sessions to the issues presented.
Sharron has 14 years of professional experience and is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. International clients are accepted.
People can expect straightforward conversation, practical steps and occasional reflection on past experiences that affect current feelings. Sharron encourages small, manageable tasks between sessions and checks progress as therapy continues. The focus is on helping people build coping skills and regain a sense of direction.
Therapy approaches and how they work online
Sharron commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on the persons priorities and pace, with the counsellor following what the client brings and offering empathic support. It suits people who need space to be heard and to find their own solutions.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, low mood, stress and problem-solving related to work or relationships. Sharron also draws on psychodynamic ideas to spot recurring patterns from earlier experience that affect current choices and feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She discusses options with each person and adapts methods to fit goals, preferences and how someone responds. The therapist treats the process as collaborative and checks in about what is helping as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual connection, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works for short check-ins and messaging suits people who prefer writing or need brief, ongoing support. These formats help people fit therapy around work, family or travel and allow a consistent series of sessions without needing to travel.
