About Sharon
Sharon Palmer is a counsellor with 11 years of experience who focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, relationship tension, family difficulties, and low self-esteem. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for people seeking help. Her way of working is integrative, mixing several evidence-based techniques to suit each person.
In sessions she helps people talk through feelings, spot patterns, and practise new ways of coping.
Background and approach
The goal is clearer thinking and small changes that make daily life easier. Sharon often supports people facing life transitions and young adult issues. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Workplace stress, social anxiety, multicultural concerns and seasonal mood changes are included in her focus too. She works respectfully and with compassion, adapting the approach to each person rather than using a single method for everyone. Conversations are practical and aimed at immediate relief as well as longer-term understanding.
Session work can include setting goals and trying out techniques between meetings. To begin, the site’s Start Therapy button leads to a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability. Sharon does not take international clients, and sessions are conducted in English.

How Sharon works online
Finding the right mix is part of the work. Sharon will discuss options with each person and decide together what techniques fit best for their goals and situation. That collaborative process includes trying approaches and adjusting plans as needs change.
If you want to use online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make attending easier by removing travel and fitting sessions around work or study. It also allows more flexible scheduling and can make short check-ins or focused sessions simpler to arrange.
