About Sharan Thiara

Sharan Thiara is a couples and individual psychotherapist who brings an empathetic and holistic approach to her practice.

She works without judgment and focuses on supporting people with their health matters, recognising that each person remains the expert on their own life. Her humanistic and integrative outlook means she can draw on different ways of working to suit each person’s needs, combining approaches as required to support progress.

Sharan maintains a calm, gentle tone and aims to help clients stay grounded through challenging moments.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward a life that matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related concerns.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns in close relationships; it helps address issues like attachment difficulties, intimacy-related concerns and relationship challenges by exploring emotional bonds and developing healthier ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sharan will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps shape a personalised plan that can evolve as therapy progresses.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and the option to meet from different locations. These modalities can make it easier to access consistent support, accommodate busy lives, and maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not possible.
