About Sharron

Sharron Giles helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression and relationship problems. She also supports people coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, anger and intimacy-related difficulties. Sharron works collaboratively, using practical conversation and reflection to help clients identify steps forward. She is a BACP member and has 14 years of experience.

Sharron follows an integrative approach that draws on several therapy models. Sessions focus on what the client brings each week, with time spent on thinking through feelings, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying small changes between sessions. She uses clear, straightforward language and encourages practical experiments alongside reflective work.

Her background includes long-term work with people facing relationship strain and family problems, including issues such as divorce, blended family challenges, infidelity and communication problems. She also spends time with concerns linked to abandonment, codependency, control issues and dependent personality patterns.

Sharron uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address thoughts and behaviour, Client-Centred Therapy to support a person-led conversation, and Psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns from the past. Solution-Focused techniques are used when clients want shorter-term, goal-oriented work.

Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Clients can expect to set aims together and review progress as they go. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Sharron uses therapy approaches online

Sharron commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in her work. CBT involves looking at unhelpful thoughts and testing changes in behaviour to reduce symptoms such as low mood or anxiety. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a person-led conversation where the counsellor listens and reflects to help clarify what matters most to the client.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people notice repeating life patterns and how past experiences might influence present relationships. The therapist and client decide together which approaches to use, adjusting them as goals and needs become clearer in therapy.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a break. The exact session formats are not stated here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online work that helps people continue regular sessions without changing daily routines.
