Sharon Silver, BACP

Sharon Silver welcomes people seeking thoughtful, practical psychotherapy and approaches each person with warmth and respect. She works in an integrative way, combining different therapeutic methods to tailor work to each individual situation. Sharon offers one-to-one support and focuses on developing a strong therapeutic relationship that helps clients move toward greater wellbeing in mind, body and spirit.

Reaching out for help is presented as a step of courage and a starting point for change. Sharon believes that with intention and practice people can shift how they respond to life and regain a sense of agency. She aims to offer unconditional acceptance and practical encouragement so clients can make choices that feel right for them. She also notes the importance of exploring vulnerabilities as a path toward healing.

Based in the United Kingdom, Sharon has nine years of professional experience and holds BACP registration - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - indicating membership of the UK professional body for counselling and psychotherapy. She makes space for concerns both large and small, including anxiety, health anxiety, stress, panic, depression, low mood, low self-worth and low self-esteem. Relationship and parenting difficulties, grief and loss, and life transitions are also areas of focus. Sharon has pursued further training to support women through the menopause and draws on her own experience as a mother of seven grown children when working with family and parenting issues.

She aims to treat everyone with sensitivity and compassion, and to help clients stay motivated in their desire for change. Sharon looks forward to meeting and working with people who are ready to begin that process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sharon draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and to clarify personal values that guide meaningful action - an approach useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, helping clients working through abandonment, attachment issues and relationship difficulties to build more secure ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy provides a respectful, nonjudgmental foundation in which the therapist offers empathy and acceptance, supporting people to explore their experiences and grow self-understanding - an approach that can be beneficial for self-esteem, grief and life transitions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences, adapting methods over time so therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Sharon is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier for people in different locations, including international clients, to access registered professionals and continue consistent therapeutic work without logistical barriers.
