About Sharon

Sharon Parke is a counsellor with 17 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. She works with issues such as self-esteem, intimacy, career worries, compassion fatigue and matters related to LGBT concerns. Sharon aims to offer steady, practical support for people who want to feel better and move forward.

She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths that can be built on.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon. Sharon listens closely and helps clients talk through what matters most to them and what gets in the way of change. Her background includes long experience in the United Kingdom and professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

That framework guides how she works with ethical practice and professional standards. Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She adapts her style so sessions feel practical and relevant to each person’s situation.

Therapy can include talking, planning small experiments and developing coping strategies. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Everything Sharon lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and focused on everyday change. One common approach she uses emphasises talking through events and their impact to reduce distress and build coping skills; this can help with anxiety, depression and trauma-related symptoms. Another approach centres on finding and using personal strengths to set small, achievable goals that improve mood and confidence and address issues like self-esteem, career strain and relationship concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will discuss goals, try options and adapt methods based on how the person responds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy fits the client's needs and preferences rather than being a fixed programme.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face feeling when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, reflection between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
