She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and take small steps towards those values.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Existential therapy helps people ask what matters to them and where they want to go. Online sessions use conversation and reflective questions to clarify values and hold difficult feelings as clients make decisions about next steps.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to notice thoughts and commit to small actions tied to personal values. In remote sessions this can involve brief exercises, homework and planning practical steps between meetings.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and responses. Through video or phone work, the therapist helps clients notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and Sharon will collaborate to choose methods that fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted together as progress and challenges become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people see one another for a full session, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can suit shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
