About Sharon
Sharon Strickland brings four years of counselling experience to her practice in the United Kingdom. She works in a warm, non-judgemental manner and seeks to make each session straightforward and calm. Sharon holds BACP accreditation, which is noted in her profile as MBACP (Accred).
She offers space to talk through stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem concerns. Sharon also supports people facing relationship worries, parenting strains, anger, career uncertainty and life changes. Trauma, abuse and family problems are among the issues she will address when relevant.
Sharon uses a blend of approaches so sessions are tailored to each person. She draws on client-centred ways of working to prioritise the person’s experience, cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking and psychodynamic ideas to understand deeper patterns. The blend depends on what feels most useful for the individual.
Her style is collaborative. Sharon aims to listen first, then help people try practical steps and different perspectives. She explains things plainly and sets achievable steps rather than relying on jargon.
Sharon’s practice also notes additional focus areas such as attachment issues, body image, communication problems, control issues, domestic violence and forgiveness. She has experience with panic, phobias, social anxiety, self-harm and young adult concerns, among other challenges.
How Sharon’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and putting the person’s experience first. The counsellor reflects what the person says and helps them find their own solutions, which suits worries about self-esteem, isolation and life decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, panic symptoms and low mood by changing unhelpful thinking patterns.
Psychodynamic ideas help people notice longer-standing patterns and relationships that affect current feelings. This can be useful when past experiences influence present-day responses, such as attachment concerns or repeated relationship difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, and then suggest a way of working. She aims to make that choice with the person rather than deciding alone.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy days and avoiding travel time. Online counselling can make it easier to keep appointments around work or caring duties and can allow shorter check-ins when needed.
