About Sharon
Sharon Jardine welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, change or low mood. She aims to make first contact straightforward and calm. Sharon writes simply and listens carefully to what matters to each person. She believes clients hold knowledge about their own life and works alongside them to find practical steps forward.
Sharon holds a Level 4 diploma and has three years' professional experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. Her background includes long-term roles supporting others, and she brings that experience into sessions. She commonly helps with anxiety, depression, stress, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.
Sessions are shaped around the issues the client wants to discuss at the time. Sharon uses a person-centred way of working, offering empathy, validation and a calm presence. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to identify small, practical changes clients can try between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing features in her approach to help people weigh options and build their own motivation for change. Mindfulness techniques are offered where helpful to reduce reactivity and improve coping with difficult feelings.
Sharon lists hoarding and domestic abuse among specialist interests and also supports concerns such as attachment issues, ADHD, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems and post-traumatic stress. Sessions are conducted in English and follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Sharon works part time and focuses on creating a respectful, person-led space for change.

How Sharon's approaches translate to online counselling
Sharon uses person-centred work, motivational interviewing and mindfulness in her practice. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people talk through what matters most to them. Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh options and build their own reasons for change in clear, practical steps. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is something to do together. Sharon will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and help choose which methods to try. Sessions are collaborative and change over time as priorities shift.
The therapist's original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around home and work life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use techniques and homework between sessions more readily. Registered and accredited professionals often adapt these approaches to work well at a distance while keeping the focus on practical steps and personal goals. -
