About Sharon
Sharon Palmer is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family problems, self-esteem and coping with life changes, including concerns about life purpose.
She uses an integrative humanistic style, drawing on a mix of evidence-based techniques. In sessions she weaves ideas from cognitive behavioural approaches, person-centred listening, Gestalt awareness, psychodynamic thinking and transactional analysis to suit what a person brings. That variety lets her address practical worries and deeper patterns in thinking and relating.
Sharon focuses on the immediate problems people bring, like workplace stress, social anxiety or arguments at home. She also helps people who feel stuck after major change, are struggling with guilt or shame, or who are trying to make sense of cultural or multicultural concerns. Conversations aim to clarify patterns and identify small, workable steps.
Her work often covers losses tied to abandonment, communication problems and issues of control. She pays attention to seasonal affective disorder and the particular pressures young adults face. Sessions are conversational and reflective, with practical suggestions when useful.
Sharon also offers clinical supervision at Silverset Counselling Service. If someone wants to begin, they are asked to follow the site process to match and book an initial session, and to confirm current session options before scheduling.
Approach and how online sessions fit into work on purpose
Sharon blends cognitive behavioural ideas and person-centred listening so sessions address both thoughts and immediate coping. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at unhelpful thinking and trial small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety, manage stress and tackle workplace or social worries.She also draws on person-centred and Gestalt-informed ways of working that focus on what someone is experiencing in the moment. These approaches help people notice feelings, improve self-awareness and clarify what matters to them when considering life purpose or relationship shifts.
Choosing the right mix of methods is collaborative. Sharon discusses options with each person and adjusts the approach based on their goals, preferences and what is happening in their life. The first sessions tend to focus on what is most pressing and then broaden into deeper patterns if that feels helpful.

In general online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time so conversations can be scheduled around work or family commitments.
