Sharon Anderson, BACP

Sharon Anderson is a UK-based psychotherapist with 24 years of international training and practice experience. She is a dual national Black British practitioner and a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - registered to practise in the United Kingdom. She is also an Associate counselling psychologist who holds an MSc, which is a Master of Science degree, and is licensed to practise in Jamaica and across parts of the Caribbean through Jampsych. This combination of professional registration and cross-cultural experience informs her understanding of multicultural issues and the needs of local and international diasporic clients who feel displaced.

Sharon has worked across clinical, university, school, church and community settings, supporting people of all ages with concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, spiritual matters, career transitions, ADHD and autism spectrum considerations. She has helped many who have experienced adverse childhood experiences, trauma, migration and loss. Her practice also addresses stress, grief, self-esteem, addictions, family problems, intimacy-related issues, eating difficulties, bipolar disorder, anger and compassion fatigue among other areas.

Her style is warm, interactive and accepting, guided by a person-centered stance and an eclectic use of therapeutic methods. Sharon offers pastoral and spiritual counselling for those who request a spiritual perspective and can incorporate creative approaches, including therapeutic play and play therapy techniques trained in the UK and the USA. By tailoring dialogue and treatment plans to each individual, she aims to meet clients where they are and support meaningful progress at a pace that feels right for them.
