About Sharn
Sharn Stewart is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing anxiety, stress and mood struggles. She works with those dealing with trauma, ADHD and depression, and she has particular experience supporting people with panic disorder and panic attacks. Her style aims to be warm and person-centred, and she adapts sessions to each person’s needs.
Sharn draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors them to what a client finds most useful. She values a compassionate, non-judgemental relationship and prioritises creating a space where people can speak openly. Conversations move at the client’s pace and focus on practical ways to manage symptoms and feel more in control day to day.
With seven years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she has worked with adults navigating life changes, mood disorders, social anxiety and the aftermath of traumatic experiences. She pays attention to how attachment, abandonment, guilt and shame can shape relationships and self-view.
Sessions often include talking through recent situations, noticing patterns, and experimenting with different coping strategies. Sharn also supports people exploring identity, body image, impulsivity and a sense of life purpose. Her approach aims to help people build practical skills and feel more connected to themselves.
If someone is unsure about therapy, Sharn encourages small first steps. She helps people understand what to expect and works collaboratively to set goals that feel achievable.
Approaches that can help with panic and anxiety
Sharn uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to each person. One common approach she draws on is person-centred work, which focuses on listening, understanding and helping someone find their own solutions. This helps when people feel overwhelmed or blocked from being their authentic selves.She also integrates practical techniques that target anxiety and panic symptoms. These include grounding and breathing-based strategies that aim to reduce the intensity of panic attacks, and behavioural steps to gradually face feared situations. These approaches help people gain skills they can use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. Sharn will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a client’s needs, goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is paced to the individual and seeks to build confidence over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make attending sessions easier by fitting them into busy days, avoiding travel time and allowing check-ins during short breaks. It can also mean quieter conversations when video is not needed or when shorter telephone check-ins are preferable.
