About Sharon

Sharon Jardine helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, compassion fatigue and the practical challenges of life change. She works in a person-centred way and uses short-term focused tools to support the issues you choose to bring. Sharon is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has three years' professional counselling experience.

She trained to Level 4 Diploma standard in the United Kingdom and has also spent many years in other supportive roles prior to qualifying. Sharon aims to keep sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations are shaped around whatever concerns you bring that week, with attention to building on your own strengths.

Sharon lists hoarding and domestic abuse among her specialist interests, and she also works with parenting strain, self-esteem, career concerns and ADHD-related difficulties. She can help with attachment issues, isolation and relationship communication problems in individual sessions.

The approach combines Client-Centred Therapy with elements of mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Motivational Interviewing informs how she helps people find motivation for change and make workable next steps. Sessions tend to be conversational and focused on practical coping strategies.

Sessions and fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted. To begin, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Sharon uses online counselling approaches

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you, helping people clarify their own priorities and decisions. It suits those who want a conversational approach where the counsellor follows what the client brings.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and build calmer responses to stress. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life change.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of highlighting personal reasons for change and planning small, realistic steps. It can help with motivation around behaviour, habit change or managing impulsivity.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. Sharon will discuss your goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and she adapts the emphasis according to what helps you most.

Session formats are not specified in her biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full-length session is not suitable. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
