Sharron Giles, BACP

Sharron Giles helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and the pressure of career or life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship and family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, intimacy issues and problems linked to abandonment or infidelity. Her approach includes coaching for practical steps as well as therapeutic work to understand patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Sharron works in a warm, approachable way. Sessions are respectful and non-judgemental. She encourages honest conversation so people can name what is worrying them and try small changes that feel doable.

She draws on client-centred ideas to follow what matters most to each person, and uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help shift thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress. Psychodynamic methods support deeper exploration of past patterns when that is helpful. Solution-focused strategies are offered for practical goals and quicker change.

Sharron is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has 14 years of experience working with adults in the United Kingdom and with international clients by online formats. Sessions can be tailored to a person’s needs and situation rather than a fixed model.

People choose her when they want a supportive, down-to-earth counsellor who balances practical steps with listening. She helps clients set small, achievable aims and works alongside them as those aims are tried in everyday life.

How Sharron’s approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on what matters most to the person in front of the counsellor. It involves listening carefully and following the client’s priorities so sessions feel relevant and respectful. This approach helps with building confidence, self-esteem and clearer decision making.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. In online sessions this can mean identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing small behavioural experiments between meetings, and using practical exercises to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Psychodynamic work helps people notice repeated patterns that come from earlier relationships or experiences. It can be useful when someone wants to understand why certain situations keep happening and to try different responses over time.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through a person's goals, preferences and what has or has not worked before. Together they will try methods that suit the issue and adjust the approach as progress is made.

Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, brief coaching, or for people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit counselling into busy schedules and different time zones.
