About Sharon

Sharon Palmer is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 11 years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem issues, and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

Sharon uses a humanistic integrative approach that draws on several evidence-based methods. That means she brings different ways of working together to fit the problem being discussed. She names Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Gestalt, Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Existential and Transactional Analysis as influences she draws from.

In practice she helps people talk through anxious thoughts, low self-worth, and difficulties connecting with others. She also supports people coping with workplace strain, seasonal mood shifts, feelings of abandonment, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Sessions focus on clarifying what is causing distress and on practical steps people can try between meetings.

Sharon is also a clinical supervisor at Silverset Counselling Service. That role involves guiding other counsellors and reflecting on casework to maintain good practice. Her background gives particular experience with family problems, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, and young adult issues.

Approaches used in online sessions

Sharon describes an integrative practice that uses several evidence-based approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of thinking and behaving; it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Person-Centred work emphasises a non-directive, listening-led style that helps people articulate their own concerns and priorities. Psychodynamic and Gestalt ideas can help people explore repeating relationship patterns and present-moment feelings to make sense of long-standing difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon will work with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as sessions progress.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins where helpful, or reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals generally use online sessions to offer continuity of care and practical access while still focusing on the same therapeutic aims as face-to-face work.
