Sharon Silver is a BACP-registered counsellor with nine years of experience. She offers warm, one-to-one support and aims to build a strong therapeutic relationship that helps people feel steadier in mind, body and spirit. She works in an integrative way, choosing methods to suit each person’s needs rather than following one fixed approach.

Sessions are straightforward and practical. Sharon focuses on listening, helping people notice patterns, and finding small changes that make daily life easier.

Background and approach

Common concerns she helps with include stress, anxiety, depression, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports people with relationship strain, parenting pressures, trauma and intimacy-related issues. Eating, sleeping, anger and adjustment to life changes are also within her practice.

Sharon pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes, and to struggles such as codependency, control issues and body image. She also works with carers experiencing stress and compassion fatigue, and with people managing co-morbidity or ADHD-related challenges. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness, alongside attachment-based and client-centred ways of working.

Sharon brings a calm, non-judgemental presence and practical tools to sessions. She is based in the United Kingdom and carries experience supporting diverse concerns across adult life.

How her approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, and then choose actions that fit their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and improve mood and daily routines. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships that shape how someone connects now and can be helpful for intimacy and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit their situation. She treats the choice as collaborative and adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy with Sharon uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for ongoing support between sessions and for those who prefer writing. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional support.
