Warm, experienced counsellor who blends therapy approaches
About Sharon
Sharon Silver is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She offers one-to-one support and focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship that helps people feel more steady in mind and body. Sharon uses a blended approach, drawing on several methods to match each person’s needs.
Sessions are shaped around what the individual finds most helpful, whether that is practical skills, exploring patterns, or practising present-moment awareness.
Background and approach
She emphasises small, achievable steps so change feels manageable. People come to Sharon with many concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with parenting stresses, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related worries, sleep and eating issues, anger, and compassion fatigue.
Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, communication problems, and ADHD-related challenges. Her approach is warm and accepting. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them without judgement.
Sharon encourages clients to notice patterns, try alternative responses, and practise skills between sessions so progress continues outside appointments. Sharon is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has particular interest in supporting women through life changes such as the menopause.
Reaching out is framed as a step towards change and greater control over reactions to life events.

How Sharon’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings and to act in line with their values. It helps with anxiety, low mood and making changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different actions to change feelings and behaviour, often useful for anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns from early life and helps people understand how those patterns affect current relationships and closeness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will explore your needs, goals and preferences with you and then suggest ways of working together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time to find what helps best.
Online therapy offers practical options to fit a busy life. Video calls let you see and hear the counsellor for fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins or a way to keep working between longer appointments. These formats make it simpler to maintain continuity of care across locations and busy schedules, while allowing flexibility in how you access support.
