I have only had two sessions with her, but I look forward to it every week. She is thoughtful, helpful and insightful. I am thrilled to be working with her.

Sharon is hands down the best therapist I have worked with. She understands me so well, I finally feel understood, seen and heard. Abd she always manages to help me in working through my issues in a way that I see I make progress and I learn different tools to achieve that. She creates a safe place to heal. Very empathetic. I honestly am so grateful I found her. I searched for a long time. She is just the right person in the right job. Rare find. Clear recommendation.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Reviewed September 2023

Sharon is very kind and engaging. She has listened tentatively to me and asked me questions that have allowed me to assess the situations in different ways. In all honesty, she is the best therapist I've ever worked with.

Reviewed September 2023

Sharon has been a wonderful and deep helper, she's accommodated for my work schedule whenever I ask and has been completely open about her therapeutic techniques. Her tone and concern are always clearly honest and, if you want it, her ability to reduce the "therapy" feel of the conversation is top tier. With her assistance I have confronted many past demons and have been able to express more confidence without guilt than ever before.

Reviewed February 2023

Following having my first child and the aftermath of working for yourself after a pandemic Sharon helped me worked through some mental struggles that were holding me back from moving forward. She has a calm, consistent style which worked well for me, I felt like I had life coach and therapist in one, which I think is what I needed. She suggested some tools to help me work through things that were making me stressed or anxious. Would highly recommend.

Reviewed December 2022

I am finding this process and the exchange with Sharon to be very helpful and clarifying for my issues, with a resolution as the aim.

Reviewed November 2022

So far Sharon has been much more understanding and reassuring, as well as present, than any of the 2 previous therapists I've tried, despite not being in person. She seems to be trying her best to understand everything that's bothering me, and she's doing a very good job at that. Of course it's not always possible to understand someone's situation entirely accurately from a few 45' meetings, but from the information she has so far she's doing a great job.

Reviewed November 2022

Sharon is very kind and warms my heart to speak with her weekly. She takes her time with me and help me understand things or see things in a different perspective. She is very supportive and I have complete and utter faith in her work. This is my first ever therapy and I couldn’t be happier to have with it with someone like Sharon.

Reviewed September 2022

Sharon has allowed me to open up and really share most of the things I keep to myself in my 1st 3 sessions with her. She listens intently and really tries to get to the root of each behaviour and my way of thinking. This is my first ever experience with therapy and she has made a very welcoming enviroment. I am immensely grateful to Sharon and this platform.
