About Sharon

Sharon Strickland is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by life's pressures. She holds BACP accreditation, and she frames her work around listening and practical support. Sharon aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what matters to them.

Sharon uses a blend of counselling approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions usually begin by looking at immediate concerns, then move into identifying patterns that keep problems going. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain and parenting pressures. Her practice also includes support for people facing trauma, domestic violence, panic and phobias.

Her style is warm and empathic, with attention to both feelings and everyday coping. She helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical alternatives. At other times she helps uncover earlier experiences that affect current relationships and reactions.

Sharon has four years of experience and offers clinical supervision to other counsellors as part of her wider work. She communicates in English and practises within the United Kingdom. Sessions operate via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens with empathy and reflects what comes up, helping people find their own solutions to stress, anxiety or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours, which can be useful for panic, phobias and anxious thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will discuss different ways of working and agree on methods that fit a person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit around daily life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the exact options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and reflective work to suit remote sessions while helping people build coping skills and address emotional patterns.
