About Sharon
Sharon Shaw is a psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has worked in clinical practice for 10 years. She describes long personal therapy experience and a Masters-level education, and she lists a wide range of concerns she supports, including anger alongside stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and relationship issues.
Sharon uses several practical approaches in her work. She blends Attachment-Based ideas with client-centred and cognitive behavioural methods. She also draws on emotion-focused work and hypnotherapy to help people notice patterns in relationships and internal responses.
In sessions she focuses on what happens between people and on recurring reactions that feel automatic. She talks through how survival patterns and past hurts shape present responses. That can include looking at anger that comes out as snapping, resentment that builds up, or difficulties handling someone else’s anger.
Her style is described in plain terms as direct and interactive. She avoids labelling and aims to help people understand their thoughts and feelings so they can make different choices about behaviour. She also writes about personal development and has plans to publish work drawn from her own experience.
Sharon works with adults from diverse backgrounds. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. For international clients, confirm session options when booking. Booking starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How Sharon's approaches translate to online work
Sharon frequently uses Attachment-Based ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early and close relationships shape current responses, which can help with chronic anger, trust issues and relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and can help people change reactive behaviours and reduce repeated outbursts.She also uses Emotionally-Focused approaches to notice and name emotional responses in the moment, which supports moving from automatic reactions to clearer communication. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client review needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together rather than assuming one route fits everyone.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into work and family schedules and making shorter check-ins or longer discussions easier to arrange. The biography does not explicitly list which session formats are available, so confirm the current online options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often find online work helps people keep continuity of care and bring real-life situations into session more readily.
