About Sharon

Sharon Silver is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional 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 welcomes people who are worried, overwhelmed or ready for change and approaches each person as an individual.

Sharon uses a blend of approaches chosen to meet each person's needs. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps that can help between meetings. Conversations are intended to be straightforward, with space to talk about emotions, behaviour and daily routines that affect sleep and rest.

She commonly works with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Sharon also supports people dealing with grief, relationship and parenting pressures, trauma and problems with eating or sleeping. She has a particular interest in compassion fatigue, ADHD, attachment and abandonment concerns.

Sharon draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-based work, client-centred listening and mindfulness tools. These are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes and build skills for coping with life shifts. Practical techniques for sleep and rest are woven into work when relevant.

Sessions are offered in English and Sharon accepts international clients. She works from a perspective of respect and empathy, encouraging people to try things that feel manageable. To begin, people follow an online sign-up and matching process before scheduling sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, sleep worries and low mood by teaching simple ways to respond rather than fight every thought. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional safety; this can help with intimacy worries, abandonment feelings and relational patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy, giving people space to tell their story and find their own answers; this approach suits those who want a supportive, non-judgemental place to process difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then tailor techniques from these approaches together with the client. That collaboration means methods can change as needs shift, for example placing more emphasis on sleep routines or on managing strong emotions.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins and offer different ways of communicating that suit practical needs. Many people find remote sessions make it simpler to keep continuity while balancing work, family and rest routines.
