How Sharon works
She aims to create a calm, welcoming space where people can talk about what matters to them. Conversations are aimed at understanding what is going on now and what small steps could make life easier. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to help people identify practical changes and build on what already works.
That can mean setting clear, short-term goals and trying simple, manageable adjustments between sessions. The approach is straightforward and goal oriented when that suits the person. Sharon has worked with concerns that often turn up around family strains, midlife change and end-of-life matters, including grief, hospice and geriatric issues.
She also addresses themes such as divorce, infidelity, domestic violence, guilt and forgiveness in one-to-one counselling. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Sharon follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics and aims to treat everyone with warmth, respect and patience.

Approaches and how they work online
Sharon uses client-centred therapy to focus on the person's own experience. That means sessions are built around listening, reflection and helping people make sense of what they feel. This approach can be helpful for grief, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem issues.She also uses solution-focused therapy to find practical ways forward. Sessions may include setting short-term goals, spotting what already helps and trying small changes between meetings. This method suits people who want clear, step-by-step progress on specific problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss goals and preferences and choose methods together with the person. The aim is a collaborative plan that fits the individual's needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling easier to fit into a busy life. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in and messaging lets people send thoughts between appointments. These options give flexibility in how and when people access support.
