Sharon Beer, BACP

Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in an integrative way, choosing methods that suit each person. One approach she often draws on is relational work, which focuses on how current and past relationships shape feelings and behaviours and helps with issues like intimacy, attachment and abandonment. Another common strand is trauma-informed conversation, which emphasises pacing, grounding and gradual processing to support people who have experienced abuse or difficult events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. Sharon works together with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process is revisited as things change so the way of working can be adjusted over time.

Online formats let people choose what fits their life. Video calls are close to face-to-face sessions and suit longer conversations. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to schedule around daily life.
