About Sharon
Sharon Anderson offers calm, steady support for people facing difficult life moments. She speaks plainly and listens closely, helping clients who are struggling with anxiety, low mood, grief, stress, relationship pain or questions about identity and purpose. Sharon draws on 24 years of clinical and community experience across the United Kingdom and internationally.
She is a BACP member, and she combines counselling psychology insights with practical therapeutic techniques. Sessions are warm and interactive, with an emphasis on pacing the work to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Her approach blends client-centred care with attachment-focused thinking and practical skills from cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapies. She may also use elements of the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are being explored. Sharon adapts methods to suit the issue at hand rather than using one fixed style.
Clients who prefer a spiritual perspective can request spiritual counselling, and she has experience offering creative methods such as therapeutic play when that helps people express themselves. Her background includes work in clinical services, universities, schools, churches and community settings.
Sharon has supported people with a wide range of concerns including trauma, ADHD, addictions, parenting strains, career stress, eating difficulties, and intimacy issues. She also works with themes such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, immigration stress and loneliness, tailoring the work to each person’s story. Beginning therapy with Sharon involves a practical conversation about goals and what feels manageable.
She helps set a personalised plan and moves at a pace the client chooses.

Online support
Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a shared process. Sharon discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adjusts methods as the work progresses. Clients and therapist plan together so the work fits the client’s life and aims rather than forcing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual connection, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or for easier scheduling, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the therapeutic focus consistent.
