About Sharon
Sharon Gallagher is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 24 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. Sharon helps clients who are managing life changes and relationship or intimacy concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Sharon uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most urgent for each person. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the client’s own perspective and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to look at thoughts and behaviours that sustain anxiety. She also offers mindfulness practices and solution-focused work to develop practical steps between sessions.
In early meetings Sharon aims to clarify what a client wants to address and to agree on small, manageable goals. She adapts the pace according to how someone responds, with a mix of talking, practical exercises and reflective tasks. Hypnotherapy is listed among her approaches and may be offered as a complementary option when appropriate.
Sharon notes that taking the first step can feel difficult. She responds to messages during her working hours and normally tries to reply the same day when possible. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. This initial step helps Sharon and the client decide how to move forward together.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Sharon commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to the person’s experience and responding to what matters most to them, which helps when a client needs reflective conversation and emotional clarity. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and introduces practical exercises to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon will discuss goals and preferences with each client and decide together which methods to try first. That collaborative pick-and-check approach means methods can be adjusted as the work progresses.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Many people appreciate that online sessions can fit around work, travel or family commitments and can make check-ins easier to schedule. Online work also allows practical tools and homework to be shared immediately, and sessions can be shorter or longer depending on what the client and therapist agree. Registered or accredited professionals often find remote work helps maintain continuity of care across locations.
