About Sharon
Sharon Silver is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She greets people with warmth and a non-judgemental attitude. Her aim is to build a strong therapeutic relationship that helps people feel more settled in mind and body.
She uses an integrative approach, drawing on several evidence-informed methods to suit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on what matters to the client right now and on practical steps to manage distress.
Background and approach
Short-term goals and everyday skills often play a role alongside deeper reflection. Sharon often works with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and the strains that come with parenting. She also supports people dealing with eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and trauma or abuse.
Other areas she addresses include attachment or abandonment issues, caregiver stress, body image and feelings of emptiness. Her working style is compassionate and down-to-earth. She encourages people to express difficult feelings and to practise new ways of responding.
Sharon emphasises small, steady changes and believes effort and practice lead to progress. Sharon is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled thereafter.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and building small, committed steps toward those values. It helps when anxiety, low mood or recurring unhelpful thoughts get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce distress and change patterns that cause problems. It is often helpful for anxiety, panic, sleep and mood issues. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to early and current relationship patterns and how they shape trust, closeness and boundaries; this can be useful for people dealing with attachment or abandonment concerns and intimacy issues.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try methods that match their needs and preferences. Goals and techniques are reviewed together so adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact matters. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, caring duties and busy days.
