About Sharon
Sharon Strickland is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults and young people on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, life changes and relationship and family concerns. Sharon also lists life purpose among her focus areas.
Sharon offers a conversational style that aims to make difficult feelings easier to talk about. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how it affects daily life. She listens, reflects, and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck or anxious.
Her work draws on client-centred methods to follow each person's concerns, cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thought and behaviour patterns, and psychodynamic ideas to consider past influences. That mix allows practical steps alongside deeper reflection when needed.
Sharon commonly helps people who are coping with big transitions such as career changes, parenting strains, or loss. She also works with issues including panic attacks, phobias, body image, communication problems, anger and isolation. Sessions can cover practical coping strategies as well as exploring emotional responses.
She uses straightforward language and keeps sessions focused on what the client wants to address. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Sharon uses different approaches in online work
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the session and focuses on listening and understanding. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and decide their own next steps.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood. It is often used for anxiety, panic, phobias and low mood by helping to test patterns and try practical changes.
Psychodynamic work considers how past experiences shape current reactions and relationships. This can be useful when people want to understand recurring patterns or deeper emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon treats this as a collaborative process and will help clients decide which methods to use based on their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as different needs emerge.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions fit into busy lives by making it easier to fit a short check-in around work, by avoiding travel, or by choosing a session length that suits a lunchtime or evening. Registered or accredited professionals can offer flexible ways to work that aim to make attending therapy more practical while keeping the focus on the client's aims.
