Sharon Silver, BACP

Sharon Silver is a BACP counsellor with nine years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She offers one-to-one therapy and aims to build a strong therapeutic relationship that helps people feel steadier in body, mind and spirit. Sharon emphasises practical change and encourages people who reach out to see that asking for help is a sign of strength.

She works in an integrative way and combines methods to suit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on what is most important to the individual, whether that is coping with anxiety, managing stress, or finding more balance during life transitions. Sharon also supports people facing grief and loss, and she has pursued additional training around the menopause.

Her approach is warm and non-judgemental. She listens, reflects, and helps people make changes they find workable in everyday life. Practical tools and gentle exploration are used side by side to help with mood, sleep, eating concerns, and low self-esteem.

Sharon draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centred listening and mindfulness practices. These are used to help with relationship difficulties, feelings of emptiness, communication problems and coping with demanding roles like caregiving.

She welcomes conversations about a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, ADHD, and blended family challenges. If someone wants to start, they can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current ways of relating and can help with abandonment, trust and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss your goals and preferences and tailor the mix of methods with you. That collaborative process helps decide whether more practical exercises, reflective conversation or mindfulness practices are used in sessions.

The biography does not specify particular online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit more easily around work and family routines, reduce travel time and make regular sessions simpler to keep. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or offer options that do not require being on camera for the whole session. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who practise these approaches, can adapt tools and exercises so they work well in remote appointments.
