About Sharon
Sharon Strickland is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sharon offers a calm, listening presence for people feeling overwhelmed by life.
She keeps sessions straightforward and down to earth. Sharon draws on different therapeutic styles to match what a person needs. Conversations focus on understanding feelings and finding manageable steps forward.
Her approach is collaborative.
Background and approach
Clients can expect a warm, non-judgemental atmosphere where they set the pace. The work often looks at what is happening now, and how past patterns influence present difficulties. Sharon uses client-centred methods to build a trusting relationship.
She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and develop practical coping skills. When appropriate, she explores deeper patterns with psychodynamic ideas to help understand recurring themes. Common concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression.
She also helps with relationship difficulties, trauma and issues around parenting and family problems. Other areas include anger, career changes, and coping with life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled based on therapist availability and a subscription plan that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In online sessions this often involves identifying unhelpful thinking, practising new ways of responding and setting small tasks between meetings to build coping skills.
Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice patterns that repeat across relationships and time. Online conversations can gently uncover these themes so the person understands why certain feelings or reactions keep coming up.
Finding the right approach is usually a joint process. Sharon will work with each person to try different ways of working, discuss what feels helpful and adjust the focus as goals and needs become clearer. Collaboration helps shape a plan that fits individual preferences.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and text messaging is useful for ongoing support between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress.
