Sharon Palmer

Sharon Palmer is a counsellor who combines humanistic and integrative ideas in her work. She holds BACP accreditation, and brings 11 years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem. Sharon focuses on practical ways to cope with life changes and painful emotions, including feelings of isolation and loneliness.

In sessions she aims for a calm, respectful atmosphere where people can talk through what matters most to them. She adapts the session to each person, drawing on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Conversations cover patterns of thought and behaviour, emotional response, and the pressures that show up at work or in relationships.

Sharon has experience helping people manage communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and challenges around forgiveness. She also addresses multicultural concerns, seasonal affective disorder, social anxiety and phobia, and worries common to young adults. Her work often involves setting small, achievable goals and practising new ways of coping.

She offers clinical supervision in addition to counselling and supports people exploring life purpose and self-love. Sessions are delivered from the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. International work is not taken on at this time.

Choosing to seek help can feel daunting. Sharon encourages straightforward conversations about expectations, and helps people find clarity and balance as they work through change.

How integrative approaches guide online counselling

Sharon uses an integrative, humanistic way of working that brings together practical techniques and relational listening. Cognitive work helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses; this can suit anxiety, low mood and social worry. Person-centred elements focus on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own solutions.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals and try techniques that match a person's needs and preferences. Sessions can be adjusted over time if something is not helping.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep regular momentum while they practise new skills between sessions.
