About Sharan
Sharan Thiara is a counsellor who aims to help people feel heard and steady when life feels overwhelming. She welcomes people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions or relationship worries. Sharan writes in a calm, non-judgemental way and focuses on practical steps as well as emotional healing.
She uses an integrative, humanistic way of working that draws on several approaches. That means sessions might blend emotion-focused exploration with exercises to manage thoughts and behaviours.
Background and approach
The intention is to keep sessions grounded and useful while also looking at deeper patterns that influence feelings and choices. Sharan has seven years of experience and holds BACP accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her background includes work on grief, intimacy concerns, parenting stress and compassion fatigue, alongside a range of trauma-related issues.
In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and offers tools that fit their situation. Practical techniques can include strategies from cognitive-behavioural therapy and mindfulness-based approaches. Emotionally-focused methods are used to help people connect with and understand strong feelings.
She offers support in English and accepts international clients. People usually begin by completing a short questionnaire and arranging sessions that suit their schedule. The overall aim is to help people build clearer choices and steadier coping in day-to-day life.

Online support
Emotion-centred approaches delivered online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on helping people notice and name strong emotions. It can help when patterns of feeling and avoidance keep causing pain in relationships or personal life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses practical exercises to clarify values and build actions that matter, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current feelings and reactions and can be useful for people wanting to understand repeated patterns in relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals and preferences. That might mean trying an emotion-focused conversation one week and a behavioural exercise the next. The focus is on what helps someone make clearer choices and feel more steady over time.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, reflective writing and when realtime typing fits better into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact and to fit sessions around work, family and travel.
