More about Sharon

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a therapist with lived experience of many issues. I have worked with clients who have stress and anxiety, relationship issues, low self esteem, clients who want anger management & motivation, and confidence. I also have lived through a life changing brain injury that affected all of my family and friends. I have used this experience with clients as well.

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, be proud of yourself.

Are you a young person unsure of which direction to take? Or maybe you are older and want to change directions. Sometimes outside influences can impact you, your next step is to process this.

I look forward to working through this with you on video call. I also use messaging but only for the assessment and to arrange sessions.

My schedule is flexible too.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
