About Sharon
Sharon Gallagher is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 24 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and anger. Sharon also supports individuals managing relationship and parenting struggles, sleep problems, self-esteem issues and career stresses.
She takes a straightforward, person-led approach. Conversations are used to understand what is causing distress and what practical steps can reduce it. Sharon adapts her way of working to each person, using methods that suit their situation and aims.
Sharon draws on a mix of talking therapies and focused techniques. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client's lead and build trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot patterns of thought and change unhelpful reactions. Hypnotherapy and Mindfulness are also available for people who find those approaches helpful.
Sessions concentrate on clear goals and practical tools. For example, someone struggling with anger might work on recognising triggers, learning short techniques to calm intense moments, and practising different ways to respond. For grief or trauma the focus can shift to coping strategies, pacing recovery and managing difficult memories.
Her style is patient and direct. She listens, suggests practical options and checks progress regularly. People who want clear steps and collaborative planning tend to find this approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. Online sessions using this approach still centre the person's experience and priorities, letting the counsellor respond to what matters most in each meeting.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. In online work CBT often uses short exercises, worksheets and homework to practise new ways of thinking between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. Online sessions can guide these exercises and add short practices to daily life so they become easier to use when anger or anxiety rises.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and choose approaches together with the client, based on needs, goals and personal preferences. That collaboration helps make sessions practical and relevant.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and goals so therapy fits day-to-day life without changing the underlying therapeutic aims.
