About Sharon
Sharon Shaw is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years' clinical experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and a wide range of life changes.
She draws on several practical approaches including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive-behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep problems cycling and on learning ways to respond differently to painful feelings.
Sharon has particular experience with relational dynamics, sexual and emotional abuse, narcissistic behaviour, infidelity and addictive problems. She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy and body-image concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, career stress and the effects of caregiving.
Her work aims to help people notice how past experiences shape present reactions. Conversations combine gentle challenge with practical steps such as thought checks, emotion-focussed work and grounding exercises. Sharon also brings life experience to her role and has written about her own journey.
Sessions are conducted in English and Sharon accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and practical details via the online booking flow. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Sharon uses evidence-based approaches online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the role of emotions and attachment patterns in relationships and personal distress. It helps people name difficult feelings, track how those feelings affect interactions, and practise new emotional responses. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and coping. It helps people notice repeating patterns and try different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the centre of sessions, using open listening and reflection to build clarity about goals and choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client's concerns, aims and personal preferences. That may mean combining EFT with cognitive-behavioural tools or using reflective, client-centred conversation to make sense of painful patterns.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel. They can allow shorter check-ins, reduce commuting time and offer the choice to meet without being on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and pacing for remote sessions to suit each person's practical needs.
