About Sharon

Sharon Strickland is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers a calm, listening presence for people under pressure. She has four years of practice and is associated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sharon aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward.

Sharon keeps sessions straightforward and person-focused. She listens closely and helps people name their feelings. Together they explore what is causing distress and look for small, practical ways to cope day to day.

Background and approach

Her work draws from several well-known counselling approaches so sessions can be tailored to each person. Sharon uses talking and reflection to help people understand patterns, and practical steps to reduce anxiety or manage difficult emotions. Typical concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression, along with relationship and family problems.

She also works with issues such as trauma and abuse, parenting strains, anger, career changes, and coping with life transitions. Sharon aims to create a warm, non-judgemental atmosphere. People can expect a steady, respectful way of working that balances understanding with practical strategies.

She invites anyone who feels ready to try counselling to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

Approach-led online counselling that fits your life

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers acceptance and reflection to help people feel heard and to clarify what matters to them. This approach is useful when someone needs a stable, empathetic space to talk through feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at thoughts, emotions and behaviours. It uses straightforward exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, panic and low mood. People often use CBT techniques between sessions to see quick, practical changes.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and together decide which approach or mix feels most helpful. This is a collaborative decision and can be adjusted as therapy proceeds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit short check-ins, and messaging helps when people prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress.
