About Sharon
Sharon Strickland is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation and offers a calm, listening approach for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Sharon meets each person where they are and adapts her style to the situation.
She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through what matters most. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, spotting unhelpful patterns, and finding small, practical steps to make life easier.
Background and approach
Her work draws on client-centred ideas that place the person’s experience at the heart of therapy. Sharon also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help manage thoughts and behaviours, and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present reactions. She blends these approaches to suit individual needs rather than following one fixed method.
Sharon helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, anger, career stress and coping with life changes. Additional focuses include attachment worries, body image, communication and control issues, domestic violence, guilt and shame, isolation, panic and phobias, self-harm, social anxiety and young adult issues.
If someone wishes to begin, the process starts by using the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire. Once matched, scheduling is arranged according to the therapist’s availability and the subscription can be cancelled at any time.

How Sharon works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact. It offers practical exercises and simple strategies to manage anxiety, panic, phobias, low mood or stress. These techniques are often worked on between sessions to build new habits.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process aimed at matching techniques to what helps most for each person.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session types are currently offered before booking. Many people appreciate online options because they can fit sessions around work or family life and avoid travel time. Online work can also make shorter check-ins easier and allow exercises or worksheets to be shared during or between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals use these methods to support people in practical, everyday ways without requiring attendance in person.
