About Sharon

Sharon Silver is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She offers one-to-one support and aims to build a strong therapeutic relationship that helps people feel steadier in mind, body and spirit. Sharon believes reaching out is a step towards change and approaches each person with warmth and acceptance.

Sharon uses a blend of methods chosen to fit each person's needs rather than a single fixed approach. In sessions she focuses on practical steps, moments of reflection and building skills people can use between meetings. The work often covers stress, anxiety, low mood, panic and low self-esteem in clear, everyday terms.

She also helps people who are coping with grief and loss, and she has pursued further training in menopausal support for women experiencing that life stage. Parenting issues and relationship concerns are part of the topics she commonly addresses, and Sharon speaks from experience as a parent herself.

Sharon describes the therapy space as supportive and non-judgemental. She encourages people to notice small changes and to practise new ways of responding to difficult feelings. Nothing is too small to bring to a session, and she aims to help people feel more able to make choices that suit their lives.

Sessions are offered in English and Sharon accepts international clients. She works with practical goals and reflective conversation to help people manage everyday pressures, compassion fatigue, trauma-related worries, eating and sleep problems, and challenges linked to attachment and relationships.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and encourages action based on personal values. This approach can support someone dealing with anxiety, stress or life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early relationship experiences shape current reactions. It can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. That collaborative process means the focus can shift as needs change over time.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so please confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and keep appointments when life is unpredictable. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, or more reflective hour-long sessions when there is time for deeper work.
