She is the best ❤️

Reviewed February 2025

Sharon Silver is very good at what she does. I had other therapist and so far she has been the best. I believe she understands me and tries her best to help me by offering advice and encouragement. She is kind and understanding. It was good having her for my therapist.

More about Sharon

  • 9 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a qualified therapist who uses an integrative approach, based on the unique needs of each client. I am based in the UK with 9 years of professional work experience. I have worked within the role of Psychotherapist, counsellor and mentor with individuals aged from 16 years old up to 75 years of age. I enjoy working with people from different cultural backgrounds and have a great appreciation of the many different perspectives, which come from unique life experiences. Nothing is ever to small or insignificant to be brought to therapy. Anxiety is a common emotional response to adverse life experiences and I have much experience in helping clients with anxiety and stress. If you are coping with grief and loss, I can help you process the intense emotional and sometimes physical reaction, to the loss of a loved one. I have experienced the death of my mother many years ago - as a result of a long illness, and have also experienced the very sudden death of my father, due to an unexpected accident, in more recent years. I understand that the grieving process can be quite unique, depending on the circimstances. As a mother of 7 children, I am experienced with many of the joys and struggles of raising a family, while keeping some space for down time and 'me time' with all the guilt which can be associated with doing so. Therefore any any issues with parental roles, are welcome here, with full understanding and no shame. I have worked extensively with individuals struggling with low self-esteem and low confidence, and can help you grow into developing a healthy self worth, while being less dependant on external validation. I am able to help you discern the difference between Self-Esteem, Self-Compassion and Self - worth, enabling you to appreciate who you are, and progress positively in life, in areas that matter. I use an integrative approach depending on your unique needs and I practice Compassion focused therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, as required. I am comfortable with a person centred approach, when necessary I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change, as the process can seem to be quite daunting. My aim is to help you live your life to the fullest. I help you explore and identify, what is holding you back from reaching your full potential. This can involve your persistent feelings, vicious thought patterns and the resulting behaviours that make you feel stuck. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I will offer you a safe and non judgemental place to explore your main areas of concern and would encourage you to prioritise your needs, as your well being matters. Together we will sensitively work on any underlying beliefs that you may hold about yourself, which have been ingrained from a young tender age. You are welcome, just as you are! You were placed in your mothers womb for a purpose! I look forward to meeting and working with you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
