About Sharon Belshaw

Sharon Belshaw brings a breadth of practical experience from a range of clinical and non-clinical environments, including GP practices, educational settings, a brain injury centre, corporate contexts, and the third sector. She specialises in trauma, with particular expertise in sexual trauma, and combines clinical knowledge with leadership experience as a current CEO who previously served as a Clinical Lead.

Sharon prioritises being informed by research and maintains her skills through ongoing continuing professional development. Her approach to therapy is warm and engaging, and she adapts to clients' life demands by offering flexibility around childcare, caring responsibilities, and work commitments. In addition to one-to-one therapy, she has provided management consultations and coaching for staff dealing with work-related and broader life issues.

Trained in person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), Sharon blends these methods when working with individuals affected by trauma and related concerns. Her work has been recognised with a Health and Social Care award, and she has published an article in a national journal.

Sharon holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting her professional affiliation with that organisation.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit for You?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can deliver meaningful benefits.

One of the main advantages of therapy delivered remotely is flexibility. Individuals can choose the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit support into busy lives and meet practical needs such as childcare or work commitments.

Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and if a different therapeutic fit is needed it is typically possible to switch to another therapist. Many people find that remote therapy offers a convenient and effective way to access trained therapists while balancing the demands of everyday life.
