About Sharon

Sharon Anderson is a British counsellor with 24 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She works with parents, professionals and people dealing with loss, trauma, addiction and life changes. Sharon speaks English and welcomes enquiries from the UK and international clients.

Sharon draws on a range of approaches to match individual needs. She offers attachment-based and client-centred ways of working that focus on building trust and understanding.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioural techniques and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy are used when helpful to manage strong emotions and unhelpful thinking patterns. Her background includes work in clinical settings, universities, schools, churches and local community services. That variety has shaped a practical style that blends talking, problem solving and sometimes creative methods.

Sharon also has pastoral training and can include a spiritual perspective when requested. She describes her manner as warm, interactive and accepting. Sessions move at the client’s pace and the aim is to tailor the conversation and plan to what feels most useful for each person.

Creative activities and therapeutic play may be used to help some people open up. Sharon holds BACP registration in the United Kingdom and has professional links across the Caribbean. Her approach is to work alongside people as they navigate grief, parenting strains, career shifts, attachment difficulties and the effects of migration or cultural change.

How Sharon's approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current reactions and connections. Online, this can help with relationship worries, abandonment issues and feelings of isolation by creating steady, reliable sessions that build trust over time.

Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the process. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the person's pace and priorities, which suits people wanting a respectful, non-directive space to talk things through.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real life. Used online, CBT often includes short exercises and practical tasks between sessions to practise new ways of coping with anxiety, low mood or unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods as work progresses. This collaborative planning helps ensure sessions match each person's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or busy schedules. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, family or travel.
