Online support
How Sharon’s approaches work online
Sharon combines Existential therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help people in online settings. Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, responsibility and choice, and it can help when someone feels stuck or unsure of direction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses mindfulness and values-based actions to reduce struggle with difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more supported ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sharon will work together with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences and the problems they bring. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adapting the way sessions are run as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see body language and hold more conversational sessions, while phone work can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options give flexibility for different routines, time zones and communication needs, and they make ongoing work easier to fit into a busy life.
