About Sharon
Sharon Strickland is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship or family concerns, including anger and parenting stresses. Sharon also offers help for career worries and coping with big life changes.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people talk through what’s most bothering them. Sessions aim to clarify patterns of thinking and behaviour that leave someone feeling stuck or reactive.
Sharon uses a mix of approaches so sessions can shift when needed. She draws on client-centred work to focus on the person’s experience, cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking, and psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-standing patterns. That mix is used to match what the person wants to work on.
Practical concerns such as anger, panic attacks, social anxiety, body image or control issues are addressed with clear steps and reflective conversation. Sharon also supports people coping with trauma, domestic violence aftermath, guilt and shame, or isolation and loneliness.
Her background includes clinical supervision work with other counsellors. If someone is unsure where to start she suggests a short initial process to match goals and plan the first sessions. To begin, people are invited to use the online matching questionnaire and book a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Sharon works from client-centred principles and cognitive behavioural techniques alongside psychodynamic ideas. Client-centred work focuses on the person’s experience and what matters most to them, helping someone feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to test and change them. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover recurring patterns from past experience that influence present reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and decide together which methods to use. That means sessions can be practical one week and more reflective the next, depending on what is needed.
Confirm the exact online formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, such as squeezing a shorter check-in into a lunch break or avoiding travel time. They also allow people to choose a way of meeting that suits their energy and schedule, while the therapist and client collaborate on what works best for progress.
