About Sharon

Sharon Silver is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn and offers one-to-one support focused on building a strong therapeutic relationship.

Sharon uses an integrative approach and draws on several well known therapies to match the work to each person's needs. She aims to help clients feel better in their minds and bodies by working at a pace that suits them. Her practice covers common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low mood and grief, alongside relationship and parenting issues.

She also supports people with eating and food-related worries, body image concerns and problems with sleep or anger. Sharon pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, communication and codependency, and the emotional strain of caregiving.

Sharon trained to the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which informs her professional practice. She is experienced supporting people through life changes, trauma reactions and compassion fatigue, and works with those who have ADHD or experience emptiness and avoidant tendencies.

In sessions she aims to create a respectful, non-judgmental space where clients can talk through what matters most. Reaching out is presented as a step towards change, and Sharon offers practical support and encouragement as people test new ways of responding to life.

Therapeutic approaches and online therapy choices

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful patterns and commit to actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on practical steps to change thought and behaviour patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and can help with trust, intimacy and abandonment worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will choose methods that fit. That means sessions can mix approaches so the work stays relevant and useful.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so check the current options before booking. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins or offering the chance to schedule meetings around work and childcare. If you want to try online work, discuss which arrangement suits your routine and energy levels so sessions are practical and manageable.
