Sharn Stewart, BACP

Sharn Stewart is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 7 years of experience supporting people through trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism. She works with college and university staff and students as well as other adults, tailoring her approach to each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Sharn recognises how overwhelming and isolating life can feel, and how showing up authentically can seem risky after difficult or traumatic experiences. She works at a client’s pace to help make sense of personal experiences, relationships, and patterns of relating to oneself and others. The goal of this collaborative work is to help people move forward with greater agency and a stronger sense of themselves.

Her practice draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a person-centred stance, adapting methods to fit individual needs. She emphasises a warm, trusting, and non-judgemental therapeutic relationship as the foundation for exploring emotions, memories, and life changes. Sharn is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a compassionate, authentic presence to her clinical work.

When someone is ready to begin, Sharn offers a supportive process that progresses at their pace, acknowledging both the courage taking that first step and the potential for meaningful change through consistent therapeutic work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sharn uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the individual’s own experience, offering empathy, acceptance, and support to help people explore feelings and build self-understanding. This approach is well suited to issues such as anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with self-worth where creating a strong therapeutic relationship helps change over time.

Alongside person-centred work, Sharn draws on integrative, evidence-based techniques tailored to the presenting concern, including approaches that address trauma and neurodivergent needs such as ADHD and autism. These methods are selected to help with symptom management, emotional processing, and developing practical coping strategies in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Sharn works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful, adjusting the plan to match goals, preferences, and pace so therapy remains responsive and effective.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and makes it easier to access regular support from home or work. For many people this format increases accessibility and consistency, allowing therapy to fit around study, employment, and other commitments while maintaining the continuity of care that supports lasting progress.
