About Sharon
Sharon Strickland is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of experience. She works in the United Kingdom and supports adults with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family difficulties, parenting pressures, trauma and anger.
Sharon uses a mix of counselling approaches in her work. She listens to what is going on for a person and helps them make sense of feelings and reactions. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as exploring the roots of unhelpful patterns.
She draws on client-centred thinking to build a respectful, person-led conversation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas are used when people want to learn tools to manage thoughts, panic or overwhelming feelings. Psychodynamic ideas help when past experiences seem to affect present relationships and behaviour.
Sharon also pays attention to attachment and communication issues that often sit behind recurring conflict or low mood. She works with problems such as control struggles, guilt, shame, isolation and body image concerns alongside anger and parenting stress.
People who choose her tend to want straightforward, practical help and space to talk things through. To begin, a short questionnaire and an initial appointment are used to match goals and expectations before arranging further sessions.
If English is your preferred language Sharon works in English and does not currently take international clients.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the person's concerns, helping them name feelings and set the pace for change. This approach is useful for people who want a respectful, person-led space to talk about anger, relationship strain or low mood.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to spot and change thought patterns and behaviours. It can help with panic, anxiety, anger reactions and everyday coping strategies. Psychodynamic work looks at how past relationships and early experiences shape current responses and recurring problems in adults.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and work together to choose methods that fit those aims. That collaboration helps decide whether more practical CBT exercises or deeper psychodynamic exploration is best at any time.
Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a mix of practical tools and reflective work that suits everyday life and the pace a person prefers.
