Background and approach

Sharon blends practical tools with emotional support. That can look like learning coping skills, changing unhelpful thoughts, or practicing calmer ways to respond to stress and anger. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods.

These approaches are used to address issues like grief, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, and family problems. Sessions aim to be goal-oriented and concrete so people can notice change between visits. Sharon also brings experience with addiction, bipolar concerns, eating struggles, and caregiver stress.

She names adoption, attachment, blended family dynamics, and fertility issues among her focus areas. Throughout, she emphasizes strength-based support so people can build on what already works. Therapy is offered in English.

Sharon combines practical problem solving with empathy, helping people work through crises and plan longer-term changes. Parents and individuals who want clear steps and steady support may find this approach helpful.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy keeps the session focused on the person's needs and priorities. The therapist listens deeply, reflects understanding, and helps clients decide what to work on next. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to sort through choices and feelings.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, centers on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses concrete exercises and homework so people can test new ways of coping between sessions. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related problems.

Sharon will collaborate with each person to find the best combination of methods. She reviews goals and preferences and adjusts the approach as progress is made. Figuring out what fits happens together over the first few sessions.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video mirrors a face-to-face meeting, while phone or chat can be easier on busy days. Text and live chat let people check in between sessions and keep momentum when schedules are tight. These options make it simpler to maintain regular work on goals without long commutes.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
