Sharon Beer, BACP

Sharon Beer helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression and difficult life changes. She works with concerns including relationship trouble, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction and intimacy difficulties. Sharon also supports people facing parenting strain, sleeping and eating issues, anger, low self‑esteem and compassion fatigue.

She practises in a relational, client‑led way where the person sets the agenda and goals. Sessions focus on listening, exploring thoughts and feelings, and making sense of patterns that cause pain. Sharon aims to bring empathy and honesty to each conversation so people feel heard and clearer about next steps.

Sharon studied counselling and psychotherapy up to master’s level over five years. She has three years of recorded professional experience working directly with people in distress. Her professional registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP.

Her approach is integrative, meaning she draws on different therapeutic ideas to suit an individual’s needs rather than using one fixed method. This allows practical work on coping skills alongside deeper discussions about attachment, abandonment or relational patterns when useful.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online by a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Sharon uses an integrative approach, which means she combines ideas from different evidence‑based techniques to fit a person’s needs. That might include short, structured ways to manage anxiety or mood, and more exploratory work on relationships and attachment patterns.

She also emphasises relational, client‑led work where the person shapes the agenda and goals. This approach focuses on building a trusting conversation, noticing repeated patterns in thoughts and behaviour, and agreeing practical steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Sharon works collaboratively to figure out which methods suit a person’s goals, preferences and day‑to‑day life. She regularly reviews progress and adjusts the approach if something isn’t helping.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for face‑to‑face conversation and non‑verbal cues, while phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check‑ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments.
