About Sharon
Sharon Strickland brings four years of counselling experience to her practice in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP member, and offers a calm, listening presence for people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or unsure how to move forward. Sharon writes clearly and speaks plainly in sessions to help clients make sense of difficult feelings and choices.
She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now, spotting patterns from the past, and trying small, practical changes.
Background and approach
Conversations are paced to suit each person, whether they want direct problem-solving or deeper reflection. Sharon helps with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, anger, career worries and major life changes.
Trauma, abuse and issues connected to attachment and domestic violence are within her remit. Additional areas she addresses include body image concerns, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Panic attacks, phobias, social anxiety and self-harm are also included in her work.
Sharon offers sessions via video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. The approach is collaborative: she works with people to set goals, try options and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Approaches Sharon lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try options in collaboration with each person. If one way doesn't fit, adjustments are made so the plan grows from the client's needs.
Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls let people read facial cues and keep a familiar meeting rhythm. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can suit quick check-ins, shorter updates or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, study and family life, and to maintain continuity when travel or relocation is a factor.
