Sharon Silver, BACP

Sharon Silver is a BACP-registered counsellor with nine years of practical experience. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn. Sharon aims to build a respectful therapeutic relationship that helps clients feel heard and able to make changes.

She works in an integrative way, drawing on different counselling approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions focus on what is happening day to day - thoughts, habits and responses - and on small, manageable steps clients can try between meetings. Sharon emphasises kindness, patience and practical ways to manage stress, anxiety and low mood.

Parents and people juggling caring roles may find her background helpful when family life feels strained. She also offers support for grief, changes linked to the menopause, relationship concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Sharon notes experience with ADHD-related challenges and issues around attachment and abandonment.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She encourages people to name what matters, to notice patterns, and to build confidence in decision making. Sessions are conversational and focused on everyday problems rather than technical language.

Sharon works from the United Kingdom and offers work in English. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s Start Therapy process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How different approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting pushed around by them and to choose actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help when attachment issues, abandonment or relationship patterns cause distress.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and daily life, and together they will decide which methods to try and how to adapt them for online work.

The biography does not state specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use sessions from a range of locations and can make it simpler to maintain continuity when lives are busy or changing.
