Sharon Jardine, BACP

Sharon Jardine is a UK-based counsellor with three years of professional experience and a long personal history of supporting others. She holds a Level 4 Diploma in counselling, a UK qualification that reflects advanced training in therapeutic practice, and she also holds the BACP credential. Sharon works part time with the Better Help platform and focuses on supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and challenging life transitions, as well as compassion fatigue.

Her specialist interests include hoarding and domestic abuse, and she also offers help with parenting, self-esteem, career concerns, ADHD and grief. Sharon approaches therapy from a person-centered perspective, beginning from the belief that each person is the expert in their own story and that strengths already exist that can be drawn on to navigate change. She combines a relaxed, down-to-earth manner with relevant theoretical knowledge to shape sessions around the topics a person brings.

Sharon aims to empower people to take brave steps toward a more fulfilling life, offering empathetic, validating support while maintaining professional boundaries. Her practice emphasizes practical coping strategies alongside exploration of feelings and patterns, so that clients can work toward clearer goals at a pace that suits them.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Sharon commonly uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and creating a supportive space where the person sets the pace and goals - this approach is useful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating life changes. Mindfulness therapy is another part of her work and involves simple attention and breathing practices that help people manage anxiety, stress and emotional overwhelm by grounding attention in the present moment. She also draws on motivational interviewing techniques to help people explore ambivalence and find personal reasons for change when tackling habits, career shifts or caregiver fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds so therapy feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Sharon can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, mobility needs or geographical constraints. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, try different formats, and maintain continuity of care while working toward meaningful change.
