How Sharon’s approaches work online and in practice

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early bonds shape current closeness and trust. It helps people who feel stuck in patterns of clinginess, withdrawal or fears of abandonment. Client-centred therapy makes the person the expert on their life and uses empathic listening to help people explore feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and aims to teach practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with each person about their goals, history and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaborative choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so methods can be adjusted to fit what’s helpful. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep continuity when living in different places. It can reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins easier to arrange around work or family commitments.
