About Sharon
Sharon Anderson is a BACP counsellor with 24 years of experience. She welcomes people who are coping with depression, anxiety, stress and life changes. Her manner is warm and accepting, and she aims to move at each person’s pace.
Sharon trained and practised in the UK and internationally. She has worked in clinical, university, school, church and community settings. That range has informed her work with people facing migration, relocation loss, adverse childhood experiences and trauma.
Background and approach
Her approach is person-centred and eclectic. She uses a mix of methods to fit each person’s needs rather than a single fixed style. Sharon also offers spiritual counselling for clients who want a spiritual perspective.
She has experience helping people with relationships, parenting concerns, grief, addictions and issues linked to Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. Sharon also supports those experiencing feelings linked to abandonment, attachment difficulties, isolation and guilt. In sessions she may use conversation alongside creative ways of working, including therapeutic play when it helps someone to open up.
She aims to tailor sessions and any treatment plan to where a person is right now. Sharon describes her practice as interactive and collaborative. She encourages people to take the first step and offers ongoing support on the journey towards healing and change.

Online support
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to manage symptoms. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and coping skills development.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. She adapts techniques over time to match how someone responds and what they want to achieve.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and hold more in-depth sessions. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing, need brief timely support, or want ongoing contact between longer sessions.
These online formats make it easier to work together across locations and schedules while keeping the focus on clear goals and steady progress.
