About Sharon
Sharon Palmer is a counsellor with 11 years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family conflict, and low self-esteem. She works with people facing life changes and young adult issues, offering practical support and steady guidance. Sharon uses an integrative, humanistic approach that draws on a range of evidence-based techniques.
She combines ideas from cognitive and experiential models so sessions can be adapted to each person's needs. Conversations focus on understanding feelings, spotting unhelpful patterns, and trying small changes between sessions.
How Sharon works
Sessions are calm and respectful. Sharon listens closely and helps people name emotions and make sense of difficult experiences. She pays attention to issues like abandonment, communication problems, control difficulties, guilt and shame, and multicultural concerns.
Practical life matters such as work stress, social anxiety, Seasonal Affective Disorder, and questions about life purpose are also addressed. Sharon supports people who feel isolated or struggle with forgiveness and self-love, helping them build clearer ways to cope and relate. Her registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which appears in her credentials.
Sharon works with clients in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. To begin she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online work
Sharon draws on an integrative humanistic foundation and evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor sessions to each person. Cognitive methods help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which works well for anxiety, low mood and stress by giving clear tools to try between sessions. Experiential and person-centred ideas focus on understanding emotions and building a stronger sense of self, helping with issues like shame, relationship patterns and feelings of isolation.Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with each client to decide which approaches suit their situation, goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the work as needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online formats make this kind of work easier to fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets. Phone sessions can be used when video would not work or when someone prefers a less visual check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging give flexibility for shorter check-ins, updates between sessions, or when a written format feels easier. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and to fit around work, study and family commitments.
