About Sharon
Sharon Palmer is a counsellor with eleven years' experience helping people face stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, family problems, low self-esteem and life changes. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Sharon brings a warm, straightforward style that aims to make conversations feel manageable from the first meeting.
She uses an integrative Humanistic approach, blending ideas from cognitive and experiential traditions. That means Sharon will listen closely, help you notice patterns in thoughts and feelings, and try practical tools that you can use between sessions.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. Sharon has experience addressing issues such as abandonment fears, difficulties with communication, control struggles, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. She also supports people facing cultural or multicultural concerns, workplace pressures, seasonal mood shifts, and questions about life purpose or self-love.
Young adult issues and social anxiety are also within her areas of focus. Therapy with Sharon is collaborative. She helps people set small, realistic goals and checks in about what is and isn’t working.
Conversations may include reflecting on past patterns, practical exercises, and ways to manage difficult emotions day to day. Practical arrangements include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and clients follow an initial matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is something Sharon does together with each person. She will talk about goals, try a few methods, and adapt based on what helps most. That collaborative process means the therapy can shift as needs change rather than sticking to one fixed model.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or family routines while maintaining continuity of support.
