About Sharon

Sharon Shaw is a psychotherapist with ten years of clinical experience and a BACP accreditation. She writes plainly and listens closely to help people untangle overwhelming thoughts and feelings. Her style is warm, authentic and interactive, aiming to treat people with respect and sensitivity.

Sharon draws on her own journey and lengthy personal therapy to inform how she works with clients. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain and career worries. Additional areas of attention include ADHD, attachment difficulties, body image and codependency concerns. Sharon blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs.

She uses attachment-based ideas to explore relational patterns and cognitive-behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviours. Emotion-focused and client-centred work shapes sessions that look at feelings and the person’s experience in the room. Sessions aim to help people spot survival responses learned long ago and then choose new ways of coping.

Sharon avoids limiting labels and concentrates on practical steps that make day-to-day life easier. Conversations are tailored so people leave with clearer options and small, achievable goals. She offers work in English and accepts international clients.

Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support

Sharon uses attachment-based work to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. This helps when someone struggles with trust, closeness or repeating painful relationship cycles. She also draws on cognitive-behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours that reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adjusts methods as needs become clearer. That collaborative process means techniques are chosen to suit each person rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, reflective notes or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
