About Sharan
Sharan Thiara is a counsellor who offers calm, non-judgemental support for people feeling stuck by anxiety, depression, addiction or trauma. She aims to help clients make small, manageable changes and find steadier footing in day-to-day life. Sessions are presented in a gentle, grounded manner so people can share difficult feelings without pressure.
Sharan draws on a humanistic, integrative way of working. That means she mixes different practical methods to suit each person’s needs rather than following one strict method. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.
In the room she keeps things simple and direct. People can expect to talk about what matters most to them, practise small skills between sessions, and review what helps. She aims to build a steady pace that feels manageable for each person.
Sharan has seven years' experience and holds BACP registration, which she lists as her professional credential. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, relationship difficulties, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and codependency among other areas.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, readers are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How therapeutic methods translate to online working
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in worry or avoidance. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to break unhelpful cycles, often useful for anxiety, sleep and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds influence current feelings and reactions, which can help with intimacy and codependency concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a way forward together based on goals and what feels workable. That collaboration means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Many people find online counselling easier to fit around work and family commitments and it can reduce travel time. Online sessions also allow for a range of tasks such as short check-ins, guided exercises, or paced conversations that fit into a busy week. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients plan sessions that suit their time, pace and practical needs.
