About Sharon
Sharon Gallagher is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 24 years of experience. She holds BACP registration, and she offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression and trauma. Sharon aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can talk about what matters to them.
Her approach is to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s needs. She uses practical tools and listening to help people manage strong emotions and difficult memories. Sharon often works with issues tied to relationships, intimacy, parenting and career strain, and she also addresses concerns such as sleep problems, anger and self-esteem.
Sharon includes a mix of talking therapies and focused techniques, choosing methods that fit the individual. She draws on Client-Centred principles to keep the work person-led, and uses Cognitive Behavioral techniques for tackling unhelpful thoughts and routines. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas also feature when they suit the goals at hand.
People who have experienced loss, separation, domestic violence or major life disruption may find her practical, steady style helpful. She also supports those coping after illness or with personality-related difficulties such as attachment or dependent tendencies.
Sharon accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.
How counselling approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. In online sessions this means the counsellor offers space to tell your story, reflects what she hears and helps you find your own direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical steps to shift patterns that cause distress; it can help with anxiety, depression and sleep problems when applied across conversations and short homework tasks.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sharon discusses your needs, goals and preferences and agrees a plan together. That way the methods used feel relevant and manageable rather than imposed.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, avoid travel time and have shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people take part from different locations and can help keep sessions consistent despite changes in routine.
