Sharron Giles, BACP

Sharron Giles is a counsellor who supports people facing midlife concerns such as stress, anxiety, career crossroads, low self-esteem and relationship strain. She helps people deal with depression, grief, trauma and the practical fallout of separation or infidelity. Sessions focus on making sense of difficult moments and finding ways forward that fit each person's life.

Sharron works in a warm, approachable and empathic way. She aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement. Her style is respectful and straightforward, with attention to what a person wants to change and why.

Her practice is integrative and draws on several therapeutic methods. Sharron uses client-centred ideas to follow the person's pace and priorities, cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. She can also use solution-focused strategies for practical, short-term goals.

Sharron has 14 years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with individuals to tailor sessions and plans to their particular needs, rather than applying the same approach to everyone.

People who come to Sharron are often looking for support during life changes, healing after loss or betrayal, or clearer direction in work and relationships. She encourages small, manageable steps and offers coaching-style input where helpful. If someone is ready to explore change, she invites them to begin the process together.

How Sharron’s approaches translate to online therapy

Sharron draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy to support people online. Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the person's priorities, helping them feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy addresses patterns of thinking and behaviour, offering practical tools for stress, anxiety and mood problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and can adapt the focus as things change over time.

The biography does not state which session formats are used, so please confirm the therapist's current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people maintain continuity of care across locations, including for international clients who are seeking support while away from home.
