About Sharon

Sharon Silver is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns, including parenting matters and intimacy-related difficulties.

Sharon uses a blend of approaches rather than a single method. She draws on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centred ideas and mindfulness. This helps her focus on practical ways to reduce distress and build clearer personal choices.

Sessions are conversational and focused on what the person wants to change. Sharon listens to current difficulties and helps people notice patterns that get in the way. She offers tools to manage overwhelming feelings, sleeping and eating problems, anger and compassion fatigue, as well as support around ADHD-related challenges.

People who come to her often need help with life transitions, family-related stress, feeling empty or stuck, or coping after loss. Sharon also assists with issues around body image, communication problems, codependency and commitment anxieties. She mentions experience supporting those navigating the menopause and its emotional effects.

Her way of working aims to be straightforward and steady. Practical exercises, mindful awareness and attention to attachment dynamics feature alongside talking. International clients may be supported in English; confirm session options and formats before booking.

How her approaches fit with online work

Sharon draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred practice. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values rather than being led by avoidance. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people change how they relate to others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most practical. That conversation guides which methods are used and how sessions are structured so the work suits your needs.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or study, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or avoid travel on busy days. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, ACT tasks and attachment-focused conversations to remote formats so the work remains hands-on and practical.
