About Sharon
Sharon Parke helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with family conflict, life changes, relationship concerns, grief and self-esteem struggles. Sharon works with issues around intimacy, career pressure, compassion fatigue and LGBT matters.
She brings 17 years of professional experience to her work in the United Kingdom. Sharon sees each person as the expert on their own life. She looks for strengths you already have and helps you use them to tackle current problems.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and straightforward. The aim is to make things easier to manage day to day. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth.
Sharon listens closely and helps set clear goals together. She offers ways to cope with guilt, shame and forgiveness, and to address control issues or workplace stress. People also come for support after sexual assault, domestic violence or fertility struggles.
Sharon pays attention to how culture and prejudice shape difficult experiences. She works with women’s issues, multicultural concerns and the impact of discrimination. If you are dealing with narcissism-related hurt or problems around intimacy, she will help you untangle what matters most to you.
Practical options include short-term goal work or more open-ended support, depending on what you need. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Sharon aims to make therapy fit around your life rather than the other way round.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and personal strengths. One common approach helps people manage anxiety and stress through step-by-step coping strategies and short exercises to reduce overwhelm. Another approach addresses trauma and abuse by creating a safe pace for talking about painful experiences and building skills to manage strong emotions and flashbacks.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits best. She tailors methods to your goals, needs and preferences so the plan feels manageable and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you see each other and use visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or people who find written communication more comfortable. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and they allow continued contact if circumstances change.
