Ways of working Sharon names
Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Person-centred and solution-focused work online
Sharon uses person-centred ideas to centre the conversation on the individual. This approach means the counsellor listens closely and follows what matters most to the person, helping them name feelings and make choices about next steps. It is commonly helpful for issues like low mood, relationship worries and the strain of life changes.She also uses solution-focused therapy to find practical, short-term goals. That method looks at what already works and builds on small successes. It can help when people want clearer steps and quicker ways to move forward with stress, anxiety or career and parenting concerns.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Sharon will work collaboratively to decide what helps most, based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. This means sessions can change over time as priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people talk face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when someone needs a written way to think things through. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring duties or busy days.
