More about Sharon

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am credentialed in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, anger management, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I also have lived experience of 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.

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.
