About Sharon
Sharon Shaw is a psychotherapist with ten years' experience who combines practical talking therapy with a warm, interactive style. She holds a BACP credential and uses a mix of approaches to help people understand and change patterns that cause pain. Sharon writes plainly and encourages self-awareness so clients can spot survival responses and restrictive thoughts. She has written about her own journey and aims to support others through similar changes.
Sharon works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression and relationship difficulties. She also offers support for issues such as attachment difficulties, abandonment, adoption and foster care, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. People bring matters like grief, low self-esteem, sexual and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger and career stress.
Her approach blends client-centred listening with cognitive-behavioural tools and attachment-focused thinking. Sessions are conversational and tailored to each person's needs, with practical steps to trial between meetings. Hypnotherapy elements may be used when appropriate to help shift unhelpful patterns.
Sharon describes her manner as authentic, respectful and compassionate. She does not focus on labels but on understanding each person's story and helping them build new ways of coping. Her aim is to support people who are ready to take the first steps towards change.
Sharon works from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. She has ten years' experience as a practising psychotherapist and brings personal insight from her own therapeutic journey to her work.
How Sharon's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses; it helps people understand patterns in closeness, trust and conflict. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions, using empathic listening and non-judgemental support to help people find their own solutions and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks unhelpful thoughts and behaviours into clear steps to change, offering concrete tools for anxiety, low mood and addictive patterns.Deciding which method to use is a collaborative process. Sharon will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try approaches that fit those aims. The plan can change as work progresses, so people can test what helps and leave aside techniques that do not fit.
If you are considering online work, confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help when quieter surroundings or reduced video time are useful, for example by arranging phone or lower-bandwidth options if available. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to suit different schedules and life demands.
