About Sharon

Sharon Silver is a psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She offers one-to-one support and aims to build a strong therapeutic relationship that helps clients feel more balanced in mind, body and spirit. Sharon welcomes people who are finding life hard and sees reaching out as a practical first step towards change.

She takes an integrative approach, drawing on different therapies to suit each person's needs. That means sessions are shaped around what the client wants to work on, not a fixed formula. Common concerns Sharon helps with include stress, anxiety, low mood and grief, along with parenting challenges and relationship strains.

Sharon also supports people with self-esteem, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating concerns, anger and coping with life changes. She lists ADHD, compassion fatigue and a range of attachment and family-related difficulties among her focus areas. Her background as a parent informs her understanding of the pressures carers often face.

Her style is warm and accepting, with a clear emphasis on practical steps and personal choice. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, try new ways of responding and build the skills that fit into everyday life. Sharon encourages clients to set goals that feel manageable and relevant to their situation.

If you are considering therapy, Sharon invites you to bring whatever worries you. She sees small problems and big losses as worth talking about and works collaboratively to find the next right step.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Sharon draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy as part of her integrative approach. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a warm, non-judgemental relationship that supports people to speak openly and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then suggest ways of working to match those priorities. That collaborative process makes it easier to try methods and adjust as you go.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family life and making therapy accessible when travel is difficult. Online work can make shorter check-ins easier and reduce time spent commuting. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking to know which formats are available.
