About Sharon
Sharon Beer is a counsellor who helps people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression and relationship difficulties. She works in a relational, client-led way so the person setting the agenda decides what to focus on. Sessions aim to be empathetic and honest, and to give space to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings.
She offers a calm environment for people to process trauma, loss and changes in life. Sharon also supports people facing addictions, intimacy issues, parenting strains and problems with sleep or eating.
Background and approach
She pays attention to issues such as shame, isolation and attachment struggles when these come up. Sharon holds BACP accreditation, which indicates she meets that organisation's standards for practice. She has around three years' clinical experience and has studied counselling and psychotherapy up to master’s level over five years.
That background informs how she works with others. Her approach is integrative, which means she draws on different therapeutic ideas to suit each person. Sessions are led by the client's needs and goals rather than a fixed script.
Sharon aims to be practical and down to earth when talking about next steps. Work is offered by video, phone, live chat or messaging, so people can choose what fits their life. Sharon works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
International clients are not accepted at this time.
How Sharon applies approaches online
Sharon describes her work as integrative, so she draws on a small number of evidence-informed techniques chosen to fit the person. One common approach focuses on the relationship in the room - building trust and understanding helps people feel able to talk about anxiety, trauma or relationship problems. Another approach uses practical strategies to manage symptoms, such as short exercises for coping with panic, sleep disruption or low mood. These aim to give simple tools to use between sessions.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then pick methods together. This collaborative process means plans can change as needs evolve and progress is reviewed regularly.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or limited transport options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth, while live chat and text messaging let people reflect in writing or keep contact between calls. These options help make regular work possible around school, work or family commitments.
