Sharon Silver, BACP

Sharon Silver is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief, self-esteem and parenting concerns. Sharon also lists blended family issues, attachment difficulties and responses to trauma among her focus areas.

Sharon takes an integrative approach, drawing on several therapies to fit what each person needs. Sessions are one-to-one and aimed at building a steady working relationship. She describes her work as practical and relational, helping people talk through feelings and find manageable steps forward.

In sessions she uses methods from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address unhelpful thinking and move towards values-based action. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how past relationships shape current responses. Mindfulness and client-centred ways of working appear in her practice to support present-moment noticing and clearer self-expression.

Sharon mentions particular experience with parenting strain, blended household tensions, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with body image, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, intimacy-related issues and commitment or communication problems. The list includes ADHD-related concerns and overlapping difficulties where several issues happen together.

Her background as a parent informs her practical understanding of family pressures, routine changes and the guilt that can come with balancing responsibilities. People who want a straightforward, collaborative counsellor for everyday relationship stresses and major life changes may find her approach accessible and pragmatic.
