About Sharon

Sharon Silver works with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns and related issues using approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based work. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Sharon offers one-to-one counselling and places value on building a strong therapeutic relationship. Sessions focus on practical talking, learning skills to manage difficult feelings, and noticing how thoughts and behaviour affect day-to-day life. She uses client-centred listening alongside specific techniques from ACT and CBT to help people respond differently to stressful situations.

Her background includes work with people facing low mood, panic and sleep problems, as well as those coping with grief, loss and compassion fatigue. Sharon also works with issues around self-esteem, body image and eating and food-related behaviours. Parenting and blended family concerns are part of her caseload, and she draws on attachment-based ideas when relationships or abandonment issues come up.

Sharon has particular experience supporting women through the menopause and has undertaken further study in that area. She also helps with anger, communication and commitment issues, and with neurodiverse presentations such as ADHD when these are part of the concerns presented.

Sessions are conducted in English and Sharon accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Sharon uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them and identifying personal values to guide action; it can help when stress, anxiety or avoidance are getting in the way of everyday life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Attachment-based work pays attention to relationship patterns and early attachment experiences to understand current difficulties with intimacy, abandonment or communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss options with each person and agree which methods to try based on the presenting problems, goals and personal preferences. The choice of techniques is collaborative and may be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and daily routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter or longer check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use flexible scheduling to help therapy fit into everyday life.
