How Sharon's approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current closeness and trust and can help with abandonment and relationship issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical steps to change patterns that keep problems going.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will explore your goals and preferences in the first sessions and together you will agree which methods to try. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as you learn what helps most.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone suits people who need lower bandwidth, live chat allows shorter check-ins and messaging can fit into busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or travel while keeping a steady process of support.
