About Sharon
Sharon Belshaw is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 15 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief and related concerns such as panic and body image. Sharon’s background includes roles in GP practices, educational settings, a brain injury centre, corporate environments and the third sector.
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and hypnotherapy as ways to address distressing memories, anxious thoughts and unhelpful patterns. Sessions focus on practical steps, learning coping skills and reflecting on past experiences that affect current behaviour. Sharon aims to be flexible about appointment times to fit around childcare, caring duties and work commitments.
Sharon has worked as a clinical lead and now serves as chief executive of an organisation, bringing clinical insight to wider service delivery and staff coaching. She has delivered management consultations and workplace coaching as well as individual therapy.
Her continuing professional development is emphasised, with ongoing learning and a record of contribution to the field, including a national journal article and a Health and Social Care award. People can expect a conversational style that balances practical strategies with attention to traumatic material when needed.

How her methods translate to online work
Sharon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in her practice. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve daily routines. EMDR involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity and can be used for trauma-related difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, symptoms and preferences. That conversation guides whether to focus on skills-based work, trauma processing or a combination of approaches.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as those details are not listed here. Online sessions can help people fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins and offering appointments that better match work and caring commitments. They also make it possible to use EMDR and CBT techniques using video or other supported formats when those are arranged. Registered or accredited professionals can guide practical adjustments so therapy fits day-to-day life.
