Sharon Parke, BACP

Sharon Parke is a UK-credentialed therapist with 17 years of professional experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and the challenges of major life changes. She works from the view that each person understands their own story best and brings strengths that can be used to overcome difficult situations. Sharon helps clients identify and build on those strengths while working through practical and emotional obstacles.

Sharon recognises that reaching out for help is a courageous step toward a more satisfying and happier life, and she offers steady support throughout that process. She holds BACP credentials - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK professional body for qualified counsellors and psychotherapists - which reflects her training and commitment to professional standards. Sharon aims to create a respectful, collaborative space where clients can explore concerns, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful change.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online access

Sharon draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adapted to the needs of each client. One common strand focuses on practical, skills-based work - teaching coping strategies, emotion regulation tools, and problem-solving methods that help manage stress and anxiety and support daily functioning. Another strand involves trauma-informed approaches that gently explore past experiences and their current impact, helping clients process distress and build resilience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Sharon works collaboratively with clients to identify which techniques best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps ensure treatment feels relevant and achievable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. Remote work makes it easier to maintain regular appointments, access support from different locations within the therapist's service area, and continue care when life circumstances change.
