Sharon is knowledgeable, respectful and worldly. Sharon offers statements and suggestions that stop me and make me think of an alternative perspective. Sharon's experience in psychotherapy makes me feel heard. She is unshockbale, allows me to be myself and I feel open because of this. There is no highbrow academia with classical music playing, ( a pet hate), where I feel intimidated and looked down upon. Sharon cares and her approachability is helping me progress better than ever before , during 35 years of off and on therapy. Thank you Sharon. Thank you Better Help for the match,

More about Sharon

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a therapist with lived experience of many issues. I have worked with clients who have stress and anxiety, relationship issues, low self esteem, clients who want anger management & motivation, and confidence. I also have lived through a life changing brain injury that affected all of my family and friends. I have used this experience with clients as well.

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, be proud of yourself.

Are you a young person unsure of which direction to take? Or maybe you are older and want to change directions. Sometimes outside influences can impact you, your next step is to process this.

I look forward to working through this with you on video call. I also use messaging but only for the assessment and to arrange sessions.

My schedule is flexible too.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
