How Sharon's approaches work online
Sharon uses client-centred work to focus on each person's lived experience. That approach means the session follows what the client brings and prioritises understanding their feelings and values. It tends to help when someone needs time to be heard and to make sense of painful changes.She also applies solution-focused therapy to identify small, practical steps that make a difference. This method zeroes in on what is already working and builds simple strategies to improve sleep, reduce anxiety or manage parenting pressures. It suits people who want clear actions alongside emotional support.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. That collaborative process can be revisited as needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be quieter and use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options help clients fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life.
