Sharron Giles, BACP

Sharron Giles helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and career difficulties. She supports people coping with life changes, relationship and family issues, trauma and grief. She also works with problems around intimacy, anger and patterns such as codependency and control issues.

Sharron brings 14 years of experience as a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk openly about difficult feelings. Her manner is approachable and empathic, and she focuses on treating people with respect and understanding.

Her practice uses a range of approaches so sessions are tailored to each person. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the client and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to consider how past patterns affect the present and solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals.

In sessions Sharron works alongside clients to decide what will be most helpful. That might mean setting practical steps between meetings or reflecting on deeper life patterns. She frames therapy as a collaboration aimed at clearer thinking, steadier emotions and better day-to-day coping.

People can expect straightforward conversation, gentle challenge when needed, and practical tools to try outside sessions. Sharron welcomes people who are ready to take steps towards change and offers support through that process.

How Sharron’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to what matters most to the person and following their agenda; it helps people who need a respectful space to sort out feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and stress. Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to past relationship patterns and how they show up now, which can be useful for recurring relationship and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences together and try different ways of working to see what fits. Sessions can combine methods so the plan is tailored to each person’s needs and pace.

The original biography did not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel because it reduces commute time. It can also allow different types of check-ins, such as shorter conversations when schedules are tight or more structured, workbook-style tasks between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals use these approaches to help people make steady, practical changes while keeping the focus on everyday life.
