Sharon Jardine, BACP

Sharon Jardine holds a Level 4 Diploma in counselling in the United Kingdom and brings three years of professional counselling experience alongside many earlier years supporting others in her career. She works part time with the Better Help platform and offers focused support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, life changes and compassion fatigue. Her clinical work places particular emphasis on hoarding and domestic abuse, and she draws on a range of therapeutic skills to meet those needs.

Sharon practices from a person-centered perspective, believing that each individual is the expert on their own story and that personal strengths can be used to overcome challenges. Her sessions are conversational and client-led, shaped around the topics a person wishes to address in the moment, while informed by counselling theory. She aims to create an environment of care, empathy and validation to support people as they take steps toward change.

She also holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and is a recognised professional credential in the UK. Sharon emphasizes a supportive, empowering approach that helps people explore options, build coping skills and work toward a more fulfilling life.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Support

Sharon draws primarily on client-centered work and mindfulness and also uses solution-focused techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person lead the conversation so they can explore their own goals and values; it works well for issues like low self-esteem, grief and coping with life changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical strategies for managing stress and anxiety, helping people build calm and clarity in everyday situations. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes identifying strengths and small, achievable steps toward change, which can be especially useful for practical concerns such as parenting, career challenges and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Sharon works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques during the course of therapy so that sessions remain relevant and focused on measurable progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access. These options make it possible to schedule support around work, family and other commitments, and they allow registered professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not practical.
