Sharon Anderson

Sharon Anderson is a BACP counsellor with 24 years of experience. She offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, loss or major life changes. Her approach is warm and interactive, and she aims to move at each person’s pace so they feel heard and steady from the first session.

Sharon brings a multicultural perspective shaped by practice in the UK, the Caribbean and wider international settings. That background informs her work with people facing relocation, migration challenges, culture clash or a sense of displacement. She also offers a spiritual counselling option for those who want to include faith or spiritual themes in their conversations.

In sessions she combines person-centred listening with a blend of therapeutic techniques. This flexible mix makes it easier to tailor work to issues such as trauma, adverse childhood experiences, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, grief, relationship difficulties and parenting strain. She can also support people dealing with addictions, bipolar mood challenges, eating issues and compassion fatigue.

Creative methods are available when helpful, including therapeutic play and play therapy approaches drawn from UK and US training. These options can help people who find verbal talk alone hard or who prefer a more hands-on way to express difficult feelings. Sharon aims to shape the plan around what each person needs right now.

Many clients come for help managing anger, improving communication, rebuilding trust after infidelity, or coping with loneliness and isolation. Sharon focuses on steady, practical steps so people can notice small changes and build on them over time.

How Sharon’s approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and emotional bonds. It helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears or intense reactions in close relationships by exploring patterns formed early in life and how they show up now.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s own goals and experience at the centre. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what they hear, and follows the client’s pace so people feel understood and more able to make changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood or anger and to build new coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will talk with each person about what they want to change, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan if something isn’t working. This collaborative process helps find the best mix of techniques for the issue at hand.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time, and suit quieter or shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions, helping people manage anger, loss, relationship strain or stress without needing to rearrange a whole day.
