About Sharon
Sharon Strickland is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP, and she offers a calm, approachable presence for people feeling overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. Sharon listens, reflects, and helps people find practical ways to cope with difficult feelings.
Sharon blends different counselling ideas to suit each person. She uses a mix of client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, and psychodynamic perspectives to look at thoughts, patterns and past influences.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what feels most useful for the individual and on small, manageable steps that can be tried between meetings. People come for support with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, anger, career questions and life changes.
Additional areas she works with include attachment issues, body image, communication problems, control issues and feelings of isolation. Sharon aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations are grounded in the client’s priorities and pace.
She encourages realistic goals and clear ways to measure progress. Her approach suits people who want a warm, non-judgemental space and practical tools as well as reflective work. If someone prefers a mix of talking through feelings and addressing unhelpful thoughts, Sharon adapts the sessions to match those needs.

How Sharon's approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on an empathic, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation. It helps people who need to be heard and to explore their feelings at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to try between sessions. It can be helpful for anxiety, panic, phobias and mood concerns.
Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that developed over time and how early relationships influence present behaviour. It can help people who want to understand recurring patterns and deeper emotional drivers.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon discusses options with each person and adapts methods to fit goals, needs and comfort. The process is collaborative and flexible so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth, live chat gives real-time typed conversation, and text messaging supports ongoing brief check-ins. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life while keeping continuity of care.
