Sharon Jardine

Sharon Jardine is a counsellor who focuses on helping people feeling isolated or alone, and those managing stress and anxiety. She works with people struggling with grief, depression, ADHD and major life changes. Sharon aims to make the first step easier with a calm, straightforward approach that values the person in front of her.

Sharon holds a Level 4 Diploma and has three years of professional counselling experience alongside many years supporting others in earlier roles. She uses a person-centred style that puts the client's goals and choices first. That means conversations are shaped around what matters most to the individual rather than fitting them into a fixed programme.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice and manage difficult thoughts and feelings in everyday moments. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used when someone wants clear, practical steps and short-term goals. Sessions move at a pace the person chooses and focus on small, useful changes.

Sharon lists hoarding and domestic abuse among her specialist interests, and also works with issues such as attachment, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems and self-harm. Her way of working combines empathy, practical ideas and respect for the person's own knowledge of their life.

Sessions are delivered from the United Kingdom and conducted in English. Sharon asks prospective clients to follow the service's sign-up flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what you say so you feel understood and in control of the conversation. It helps people who need space to work through difficult feelings and get clearer about what they want next. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, which can reduce overwhelm and help with anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and then tailor the mix of person-centred listening, mindfulness practice or motivational techniques to suit the client. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

The practical benefit of online therapy is that it can fit into everyday life more easily. Confirm the session formats offered before you book, since the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions make it simpler to schedule appointments around work, childcare or travel, and they can reduce the time needed for each appointment by removing travel. Online work also makes it straightforward to use brief check-ins, breathing exercises or goal-focused conversations between longer sessions.
