About Sharon
Sharon Shaw is a psychotherapist with ten years' clinical experience and a BACP registration. She writes plainly about inner work and has spent a decade in personal therapy herself. Sharon aims to help people notice what is keeping them stuck and learn new ways of responding to stress and difficult feelings.
Her approach draws on attachment-based thinking, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural ideas, with elements of emotionally-focused work and hypnotherapy where helpful. Sessions are conversational and interactive. Sharon focuses on the relationship in the room to uncover patterns that repeat in other areas of life.
She has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma. Her experience includes supporting those affected by narcissistic abuse, infidelity and sexual or physical abuse. She also helps with sleep and eating concerns, parenting strains, grief, ADHD and wider life changes.
Sharon describes her style as warm, authentic and respectful. She avoids labelling and prefers to help people make sense of survival responses and emotional patterns. That clarity is used to build practical steps toward calmer sleep, steadier mood and clearer boundaries.
Alongside clinical work she has written about her own journey and plans to publish books that encourage self-awareness and emotional mastery. People considering therapy are invited to reflect on what they want to change and bring those goals into the first sessions.
How key approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions, and online sessions can help identify and change those patterns through talking and reflection. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and pacing the conversation to the person's needs, which suits a conversational online setting. Cognitive behavioural work involves noticing thoughts and behaviours and trying small experiments between sessions to test new ways of thinking and sleeping.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs in early sessions and adjust methods as therapy progresses. Clients are involved in choosing techniques that feel useful and realistic for their life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep continuity after a move. It can also make shorter check-ins or focused homework review easier to arrange, helping therapeutic work carry into day-to-day routines.
