Sharan Thiara , BACP

Sharan Thiara is a couples and individual psychotherapist who brings an empathic, holistic way of working to each relationship and personal challenge. With seven years of clinical experience and over 100 hours of direct client work, she focuses on anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions and deeper therapeutic work while maintaining a nonjudgmental stance. She respects each person as the expert on their own life and supports them to explore difficult material at a pace that feels manageable.

Sharan uses a humanistic and integrative framework that allows her to draw on different methods depending on what a client needs. Her manner is calm and gentle, and she aims to keep clients grounded through emotional moments and practical shifts alike. That blend of empathy and structure helps people work through complex personal histories, relationship difficulties, and patterns that contribute to distress.

Sharan holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting her professional affiliation. Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming and may bring up worry about judgment. Sharan values people for the efforts they already make and supports them in learning to accept themselves and move forward with greater clarity and resilience.

Integrative therapeutic approaches for online care

Sharan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor work to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting hooked by them, and then take value-led action to build a more meaningful life. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships that affect current emotional responses and helps people build more secure ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can ease anxiety, low mood, and recurring difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Sharan works collaboratively to determine what fits best for a client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She combines techniques from different models when that better meets a person’s needs, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Sharan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it possible to access consistent therapeutic support around work, family, and travel commitments while maintaining continuity of care regardless of location.
