Sharon is knowledgeable, respectful and worldly. Sharon offers statements and suggestions that stop me and make me think of an alternative perspective. Sharon's experience in psychotherapy makes me feel heard. She is unshockbale, allows me to be myself and I feel open because of this. There is no highbrow academia with classical music playing, ( a pet hate), where I feel intimidated and looked down upon. Sharon cares and her approachability is helping me progress better than ever before , during 35 years of off and on therapy. Thank you Sharon. Thank you Better Help for the match,

More about Sharon

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a therapist with lived experience of many issues. I have worked with clients who have stress and anxiety, relationship issues, low self esteem, clients who want anger management & motivation, and confidence. I also have lived through a life changing brain injury that affected all of my family and friends. I have used this experience with clients as well.

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, be proud of yourself.

Are you a young person unsure of which direction to take? Or maybe you are older and want to change directions. Sometimes outside influences can impact you, your next step is to process this.

I look forward to working through this with you on video call. I also use messaging but only for the assessment and to arrange sessions.

My schedule is flexible too.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
