Sharon Beer , BACP

Sharon Beer is a counsellor who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. She helps with trauma and abuse, grief, addiction concerns, intimacy issues and challenges linked to parenting, sleep and eating. Sharon also works with people exploring LGBT matters, compassion fatigue, self-esteem and feelings of isolation.

Her style is relational and client-led. Clients set the agenda and decide the goals. Sharon offers empathy, straightforward feedback and a calm space to talk through difficult thoughts and behaviours.

She trained in counselling and psychotherapy up to master’s level over five years and holds BACP registration. She has three years’ professional experience working directly with people who are struggling.

In practice Sharon uses an integrative approach, choosing methods that fit each person’s needs rather than using the same method for everyone. Sessions often mix reflective conversation, practical coping ideas and moment-by-moment attention to what is happening between client and counsellor.

People come to Sharon to untangle relationship patterns, process past hurts and learn day-to-day strategies for anxiety, sleep and cravings. She explains options plainly, helps set small goals and checks in on progress as work continues.

The first step is a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled appointment. Sharon offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging for people in the United Kingdom.

Approach and online options for counselling

Sharon follows an integrative, client-led style that draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. One common approach is relational work, which focuses on the patterns that affect how people connect with others and themselves; it helps with relationship problems, intimacy concerns and attachment issues. Another frequently used method is trauma-informed conversation, which helps people process past hurts in small steps and develop coping strategies for overwhelming memories or reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences and adjusts the mix over time. She explains options clearly and agrees on small goals before trying new techniques.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection between longer sessions, making it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and daily life.
