About Sharon Shaw

Sharon Shaw is a psychotherapist who studied to master's level and brings a decade of professional practice alongside ten years of personal therapy experience. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and writes from both clinical training and personal reflection.

Sharon has authored five books that chronicle her journey and aims to publish them in 2026. Her writing is intended to encourage inward exploration and to help readers develop self-awareness so that stuck emotions and limiting thought patterns can be identified and understood. That process, she believes, supports healing and helps people learn how survival responses shape everyday behaviour.

In clinical work she has focused on relational dynamics and on sexual, emotional, and physical abuse, including narcissistic abuse and related behaviours. She also has experience supporting people facing infidelity, depression, and a range of addictive presentations. Sharon has worked with clients across different ages and ethnic backgrounds.

Her therapeutic style is described as authentic, warm, and interactive. She works with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and avoids applying limiting labels. Her stance is that people are capable of learning, growing, healing, and change.

Sharon integrates cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, psychodynamic, and narrative approaches in her work and will tailor conversations and treatment planning to each person’s particular needs. She is committed to supporting and empowering people who choose to take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

A major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the way that best fits their life and comfort level - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to attend sessions consistently and to integrate therapy into a busy schedule.



Licensed professionals deliver care through these remote formats, and people may choose to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful.
