Sharn Stewart, BACP

Sharn Stewart is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on a blend of therapeutic methods to tailor support to each person she works with. With seven years of experience, she specialises in trauma, autism, ADHD, anxiety and depression, and has particular experience supporting college and university staff and students. She frames her work around the unique needs of each client, adapting techniques and pace so that therapy fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Sharn recognises how overwhelming and isolating life can feel, and how taking emotional risks like showing vulnerability can seem unsafe after difficult or traumatic experiences. Working collaboratively and at a client’s own rhythm, she helps people make sense of their experiences, relationships and patterns of relating to themselves and others so they can move forward with greater authenticity and self-direction.

She offers a warm, trusting and non-judgemental therapeutic space and emphasises a genuine person-centred relationship as a core element of healing. Sharn holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), indicating alignment with widely recognised professional standards. Therapy is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different preferences and practical needs.

Integrative and person-centred approaches for online therapy

Sharn works in an integrative way, combining elements from different evidence-based approaches to create a personalised plan for each client. This flexible method allows her to select techniques that suit the presenting difficulties and the individual’s preferred way of working, whether the focus is on mood, attention differences or recovery from distressing experiences.

She also emphasises a person-centred approach, which centres the therapeutic relationship and the client’s own expertise about their life. This approach prioritises empathy, acceptance and collaboration, helping people feel heard and supported as they explore changes they want to make.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Sharn works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit best with their goals, needs and personal preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Sharn is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals while balancing work, study and daily life commitments.
