Background and approach
From there she works with clients to spot small, realistic changes that make everyday life easier. Her approach draws on Narrative ideas to separate people from the problems they face.

Online session options
How Narrative and ACT translate to online work
Sharon uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they carry, looking at the stories that shape daily choices and relationships. This approach can be useful for relationship strain, career questions and self-esteem work where reframing a story brings new options.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify values and take small committed actions even when emotions are difficult. ACT is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based thinking is used to notice patterns in close relationships and improve how people relate to others when trust or connection feels damaged.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That collaborative planning means the therapy style can change as needs evolve during treatment.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and exercises that rely on visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing thoughts out or who need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep steady progress between sessions.
