About Sharon
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 17 years of professional experience, Sharon Parke helps people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, self-esteem and workplace strain. Sessions are conducted in English.
Sharon starts by listening to each person’s story and recognising their existing strengths. She treats the person as the expert on their own life and works with them to set clear goals. Conversations focus on practical steps and small changes that can lessen day-to-day distress.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including fertility issues, domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse, and compassion fatigue. Sharon also addresses cultural and discrimination-related stresses, guilt and shame, and problems linked to control or narcissistic dynamics. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address these areas.
People can expect direct, structured conversations aimed at identifying unhelpful patterns and trying new ways of coping. The emphasis is on making therapy useful for everyday life, such as improving relationships, managing emotions, or returning to work with greater confidence.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules an initial session. Sharon’s practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; costs vary with location. International clients are not currently accepted.

Approaches used and what online work involves
Sharon uses straightforward evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One approach helps people identify and alter thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety and low mood going, using practical exercises and behaviour change strategies. Another approach works with trauma-related responses by pacing conversations, stabilising reactions, and rehearsing safer ways to manage triggers.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sharon collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts her approach as therapy progresses.
If you plan to meet remotely, please confirm the session formats available before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join from different locations when that suits everyday life. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally find that many evidence-based approaches transfer well to remote sessions, while practical arrangements are agreed at the first meeting.
