About Sharon
Sharon Silver is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She offers one-to-one support for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, grief, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, low self-esteem and anger. Sessions are intended to help people talk through what is happening and find clearer ways to respond.
Sharon uses an integrative approach that draws on several established methods. She adapts what she uses to fit the person in front of her rather than sticking to a single technique. In practice that means practical conversations, guided reflection and simple strategies to test between sessions.
Her work often looks at how patterns of relating and attachment shape feelings and behaviour. That can include exploring abandonment worries, communication problems, commitment concerns and issues around intimacy. She also supports people dealing with trauma, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue and the strain of blended family situations.
Sharon talks about practical skills as well as mindset shifts. That may involve mindfulness exercises, values-based choices from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and cognitive techniques that address unhelpful thinking. She describes therapy as collaborative and focused on what the person wants to change.
She has lived experience of parenting large families and says this informs her understanding of juggling responsibilities and guilt. Sharon also highlights work supporting women through menopause and offers help with eating and sleeping problems, ADHD-related struggles, and coping with major life changes.
To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and Sharon is able to work with clients in English, including international clients.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Sharon commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on identifying values and taking small, practical steps that match those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating affect present reactions and helps people try new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.Finding the best fit for someone is part of the process. Sharon aims to work collaboratively, discussing goals and preferences and then using methods that suit the persons needs. That might mean emphasising mindfulness practice for stress, ACT exercises for values-driven choices, or attachment-focused conversations to improve relationships.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life rather than interrupt it.
