About Sharon
Sharon Parke helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, family conflict, grief and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports people facing life changes, career pressures, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Sharon is credentialed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings 17 years of professional experience to her work.
Sharon believes each person knows their own story and holds strengths to draw on.
Background and approach
She works alongside clients to identify those strengths and to find practical ways to use them day to day. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, and she focuses on what will make life feel more manageable. Sessions are a place to talk things through and to try small changes that add up.
Sharon helps people make sense of difficult events and to rebuild confidence after loss or abuse. She also supports people dealing with workplace strain, fertility challenges, and issues around prejudice and discrimination. Her work pays attention to feelings such as guilt, shame and the need for forgiveness.
She offers space for people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, narcissistic behaviour from others, and multicultural stressors. Conversations aim to reduce overwhelm and to set clear, realistic goals. Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person.
She explains options, listens for what matters most, and helps people choose approaches that suit their life. The first step is often a short matching process and scheduling a session.

How Sharon works online
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Sharon will listen to your goals and preferences, explain the options, and try methods that suit you. If something doesn't fit, she will adjust the plan together with you rather than insisting on one way of working.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific formats offered before booking as none are listed in the biography. Many people find remote work makes it easier to fit therapy around busy lives, reduces travel time and lets them check in from a convenient location. Online sessions can also allow for shorter catch-ups when time is limited, and mean practical appointments are possible alongside work or family commitments.
