About Sharon
Sharon Silver is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has nine years of professional experience and works with concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief, parenting issues and self-esteem.
She uses a mix of well known counselling approaches rather than a single method. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on manageable steps forward.
Sharon draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She uses attachment-focused thinking when relationship patterns and past bonds affect current life. Client-centred work means the room is led by the person’s concerns and pace.
She has particular experience with loss, trauma and issues around intimacy and eating. Sharon also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, caregiver stress and life changes such as the menopause. She has personal parenting experience and understands the pressures of family life.
Sessions are offered in English and Sharon accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting carried away by them. It focuses on what matters to the person and on small actions that match those values, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand why they react in certain ways in close relationships and work on changing those patterns to feel more connected.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. This may involve trying different techniques and agreeing practical tasks between sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, or let someone avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can work this way effectively, and the practical aim is to help counselling fit into everyday life rather than disrupt it.
