About Sharon
Sharon Strickland is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship and family issues, including young adult issues. Sharon also supports those coping with trauma, parenting strain, anger and life changes.
Her approach blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions focus on listening first, then helping people notice patterns and try small changes. She aims to offer straightforward, practical ways to manage panic, social anxiety, low mood and intrusive thoughts.
Sharon often helps people untangle attachment and communication difficulties, body image concerns and control issues. She also works with the aftermath of domestic violence, issues around guilt and shame, and the isolation that can come with big life transitions. Conversations can cover career worries, purpose and parenting pressures.
In practice she collaborates with each person to set simple goals and to build coping tools they can use between sessions. Techniques can include challenging unhelpful thoughts, exploring past patterns that shape current relationships, and testing new ways of behaving. The focus is on what works day to day rather than technical labels.
Sessions are carried out in English from the UK. Cost varies with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How Sharon uses different approaches in online counselling
Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the session. The therapist listens without directing and helps people find their own answers, which can suit those who need space to reflect and make decisions.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It is practical and often used for anxiety, panic, phobias and low mood by teaching ways to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Psychodynamic ideas focus on patterns that repeat in relationships and personal choices. This approach can help when past experiences keep influencing present behaviour and emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss what feels most helpful and will adapt methods based on a person's goals and preferences. The choice of techniques is collaborative and may change over time as needs shift.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments around study or work and avoiding travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so check current options before booking.
