Sharon Anderson, BACP

Sharon Anderson is a dual national Black British psychotherapist with extensive international training and broad practice experience. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds postgraduate qualifications including an MSc and the title of Associate Counselling Psychologist. She is also licensed to practise in Jamaica and across parts of the Caribbean through Jampsych, a background that deepens her understanding of cross-cultural dynamics and the needs of local and international diasporas.

With 24 years of professional experience, Sharon has worked across clinical services, universities, schools, churches and community settings. She supports people of all ages facing a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting difficulties, ADHD and Autism Spectrum needs, trauma and adverse childhood experiences, migration and relocation loss, career challenges and spiritual questions. She also offers pastoral and spiritual counselling for clients who wish to explore faith perspectives alongside psychological work.

Her therapeutic style is warm, interactive and accepting. Grounded in person-centered practice and an eclectic mix of methods, she tailors treatment plans to fit each person’s circumstances and goals. At times she integrates creative approaches including therapeutic play - drawing on play therapy training from the UK and the USA - when clients prefer nonverbal or expressive ways to process experience. Sharon works at the client’s pace and aims to walk alongside people as they move toward healing and renewed connection.
