About Sharon
Sharon Parke helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the strain of major life changes. She also supports people dealing with workplace pressure, compassion fatigue, self-esteem and identity worries, and issues related to fertility or sexual assault and abuse.
Sharon is based in the United Kingdom and brings 17 years of professional experience to her work. She holds BACP registration, which is listed as her credential.
Background and approach
Sharon uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make real changes. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person. She listens closely, reflects what she hears, and works with clients to set clear, manageable goals.
Her approach treats clients as the expert on their own lives. She helps people notice strengths and use those strengths to respond to problems differently. The work can include learning coping strategies, managing difficult emotions, and trying out new ways of relating to others.
Sharon often helps people unpack the effects of trauma and abuse at a pace they can manage. She also supports those facing prejudice, multicultural challenges, control issues, and the complex emotions of guilt, shame and forgiveness. Practical matters like career concerns, relationships and parenting stresses are addressed with down-to-earth techniques.
Sharon aims to make sessions straightforward and useful, with steps clients can try between meetings. Her goal is to help people move toward greater self-love, balance and a clearer sense of direction.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then recommend methods to try. Together they review what is helpful and adjust the approach over time to fit what works best.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial expressions and body language, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make regular sessions easier to arrange across different schedules and locations, while keeping the focus on steady progress.
