Sharon Belshaw is a UK-based therapist with 15 years of clinical experience across diverse settings, including GP practices, educational environments, a brain injury centre, corporate organisations and the third sector.
She specialises in trauma - with a particular focus on sexual trauma - and works with a broad range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, career matters, and coping with life changes. She also offers coaching and support for compassion fatigue.
Sharon combines clinical practice with organisational leadership, serving as a CEO after previously holding a Clinical Lead role. She has provided management consultations and coaching to staff on work-related and wider life issues in addition to offering therapy.
Committed to evidence-informed practice, Sharon undertakes continuous professional development to maintain contemporary skills. She trained in person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing - and has been recognised with a Health and Social Care award and an article published in a national journal. She aims to offer a warm, engaging and flexible approach that can accommodate childcare, caring responsibilities and work demands.
Many people ask whether online therapy can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and it is possible to change therapists at any time if someone else would be a better fit. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible and effective route to support.
