About Sharron

Sharron Giles is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She supports people facing relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, anger and intimacy-related issues. She also offers coaching for career concerns and life transitions. Sharron works in a warm, approachable way and aims to create a space where people can speak honestly and feel heard.

Sharron uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover patterns from the past that affect present choices. Solution-focused elements support practical steps and short-term goals when that suits the client.

Her style is straightforward and empathic. Sessions are shaped around what the person needs rather than a fixed programme. She explains ideas plainly and helps people try small, manageable changes between meetings.

Sharron holds BACP as a credential and brings 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She will work collaboratively to set goals and review progress at a pace that feels right for the client. If someone wants to explore relationship problems, coping after loss, or improving confidence, she aims to offer steady, practical support.

People who choose to work with her can expect respectful listening, gentle challenge, and a focus on real-life solutions. She encourages steps that build resilience and clearer ways of coping with difficult feelings.

How Sharron’s approaches translate to online therapy

Sharron commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Client-centred therapy focuses on active listening and supporting a person to find their own solutions, which can help with low self-esteem, relationship worries and grief. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then try methods that suit the person. Sessions can be adjusted over time so the approach matches what is most helpful.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy routine and saving travel time. Online work can make it easier to have regular appointments around work or family commitments. Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the specific options offered by the therapist should be checked in advance.
