About Sharron
Counsellor Sharron Giles, BACP, has 14 years of experience helping people in the United Kingdom with stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, career problems and depression. She also supports people dealing with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and intimacy issues. Sharron works with clients who want practical help and clearer thinking when life feels hard.
Sharron uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. She draws on client-centred work to listen closely to what matters to the person. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to change them. Her background also includes psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns and where they may come from.
Sessions focus on straightforward talking, checking what is useful, and agreeing small steps to try between meetings. Conversations aim to be direct and respectful. Sharron makes practical suggestions where they help and steps back when clients prefer to lead.
She has worked with issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, infidelity, divorce and blended family tensions. She also addresses feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness and problems around control and dependence.
Sharron takes a counselling approach and combines several methods to match each person’s needs. She works in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and practical details.
How Sharron uses different approaches in online counselling
Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what the client says to help them make sense of their feelings. This approach suits people who want space to speak and to be heard without pressure.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses short exercises and practical tasks to test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood when clear steps are needed.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. Sharron will talk with each person about what they want and try different ways of working together. She aims to agree a plan that fits the client’s goals and preferences and to review it as they go.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quieter check‑ins during a lunch break or between commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use a mix of methods in remote sessions to focus on thinking patterns, relationships and practical coping skills.
