About Sharon
Sharon Noble-Layng welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or depression. She uses a caring, respectful way of working to help people talk through painful experiences such as trauma, abuse and major life changes. Sharon is based in the United Kingdom and has four years of professional experience.
She holds BACP registration, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her style is conversational and tailored to each person.
Background and approach
She listens first, then works with clients to agree small, practical steps that fit everyday life. Sessions focus on what is most worrying right now and on building coping strategies that feel manageable. Sharon has experience supporting people through loss and with problems like isolation, shame, difficulties around control, and issues linked to immigration.
She has also worked with survivors of sexual assault and those struggling with self-harm, narcissism or avoidant personality traits. Her approach aims to meet each person where they are and adapt as needs change. Over the past four years she has worked with several charities, which has informed her understanding of different life situations and pressures.
Sharon says she will tailor conversations and plans to each person’s specific needs and preferences. She encourages people to recognise the courage it takes to seek help and to take the next step. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Sharon works online
Sharon will work collaboratively to decide what feels most useful for each session. That means discussing goals, trying approaches, and adjusting the plan if something isn’t helping. Finding the right fit is part of the process and happens together over a few sessions rather than all at once.
Practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions more easily into a busy routine, reducing travel time and allowing for shorter check-ins when needed. If you prefer a quieter conversation or want to avoid screens for part of a meeting, discuss options when you book. Confirm the current session formats before arranging your first appointment so you know what to expect.
