About Sharon
Sharon Belshaw helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief and addictions. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, career questions and major life changes. Sharon is a BACP counsellor with 15 years' experience in varied settings across the United Kingdom.
She works in a warm and engaging way. Sessions are adapted to fit around work and caring commitments.
Background and approach
Sharon uses a blend of practical talking therapy and structured techniques to help people manage symptoms and make small, steady changes. Her experience includes working in GP practices, schools, a brain injury centre, corporate environments and the third sector.
She has been a clinical lead and now serves as a CEO in an organisation, so she combines frontline practice with leadership and service development insight. Sharon draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, hypnotherapy and trauma-focused methods.
She keeps up to date with research and regular continuing professional development to inform her practice and refine her use of these approaches. Alongside one-to-one counselling, Sharon has offered coaching and management consultations, helping staff with work-related pressures and general life concerns. She has received a Health and Social Care award and had an article published in a national journal.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with each person about symptoms, goals and what feels comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt the plan as things change, keeping the person's preferences central to the process.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, while chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins and people who prefer not to use audio. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments.
