About Sharon
Sharon Silver welcomes people with a warm, straightforward approach. She is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience and registration with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). Sharon aims to build a supportive relationship that helps people feel steadier in mind, body and spirit.
She uses an integrative way of working, drawing on different approaches to suit each person's needs. Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the client and finding practical steps to make life more manageable.
Background and approach
Sharon encourages people to practise new ways of responding so change can become part of everyday life. Sharon commonly helps people with stress, anxiety, low mood and grief. She also works with issues such as self-esteem, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, eating and sleep problems, anger and coping with life changes.
She has a particular interest in compassion fatigue and ADHD-related concerns. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiving stress, codependency, communication and commitment difficulties, and blended family challenges. Sharon aims to listen without judgement and to offer clear, steady support while clients explore difficult feelings.
As a parent herself, she understands the pressure of juggling responsibilities and the guilt that can come with trying to find time for oneself. She also offers support around menopause-related changes, following additional training in that area.

How Sharon works online
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Sharon will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as progress unfolds. The aim is collaborative: she helps people try methods, review what works, and refine the plan so it fits everyday life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time and allow sessions to happen from different places. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or give the choice to speak without video if that feels better. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these flexible ways of working, and Sharon will help decide what suits your schedule and needs.
