About Sharon
Sharon Gallagher is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 24 years of professional experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. Sharon also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting concerns, anger and self-esteem difficulties.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. Sessions aim to be clear and focused so people can develop coping strategies and make changes that matter to them.
Sharon also offers hypnotherapy and solution-focused work when these suit someone’s goals. That can help with habit change, managing strong emotions and short-term problem solving. She discusses options and what they involve before agreeing a path forward.
People often come for help after a big life change, a loss, or when long-standing patterns feel hard to shift. Sharon listens for what matters most to each person and then works with them to set realistic next steps. She responds to messages frequently and aims to reply promptly depending on her schedule.
Sharon welcomes people who are ready to discuss career questions, family difficulties, experiences of abandonment or attachment worries, and conditions such as bipolar where emotional regulation and routine can be important. She works in English and accepts clients in the UK and internationally.
How her approaches work online and what to expect
Sharon combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in many sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience so they can explore concerns at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thinking patterns and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with emotional regulation and concentration. Mindfulness involves short practices that increase awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations and can help with sleep and stress management. These methods are explained plainly and practised together in sessions so people can try them between appointments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods suit the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can shift as needs change.
The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts or travel and can allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises to phone or video visits and help people apply techniques in everyday life.
