Sharan Thiara

Sharan Thiara is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage anger alongside stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship concerns. She keeps sessions calm and straightforward, and aims to help people feel steadier when emotions run high. Her approach values each person's experience and avoids judgement.

She has seven years of practice and brings a human-centred, integrative style to her work. That means she draws on different ways of working to suit what a person needs rather than following one fixed method. She uses practical talking, emotion-focused reflection and behavioural tools to help people manage difficult thoughts and reactions.

When anger or strong feelings come up, she supports clients to notice triggers and try small changes that make day-to-day life easier. She also helps with grief, trauma and addiction, and with issues around intimacy, self-esteem and parenting. Sessions aim to be steady and grounding rather than intense or judgemental.

Sharan blends approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-focused thinking and skills from emotion-oriented therapies. She will work at a pace that feels manageable and help people try out new strategies between sessions. Her style is calm, gentle and practical.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and arrange a first meeting that fits their needs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and anger when someone wants to change how they respond rather than eliminate feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and practising small changes to break those cycles. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleeping or eating difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on recognising and naming emotions, and on how emotions shape close relationships. It can help people understand and change patterns that keep them feeling hurt or disconnected.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with clients and try out methods that fit their needs. Decisions about which approach to use are made together and can change as progress is made.

The original profile did not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people meet a therapist who uses the approaches they want, even across different locations.
