About Me - Counselling is my passion
Sharon O'Connor BSc, QTS, MNCPS Acc
I am a qualified therapeutic, integrative counsellor, adapting my approach to suit each individual. I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly at your own pace, working together to find a way forward that feels right for you.
About Beaches Counselling
My Background
I am a foster carer, a teacher and have worked in SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disability) for more than 25 years. Working in education, mental health, hospitals and in social care. I have always worked closely with families, carers, professionals, children and young people to promote wellbeing and advocacy for those who are struggling with their mental health and wellbeing.
My Approach
I believe that feeling truly heard and understood can be life-changing. Using a variety of evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, trauma informed practice, along with techniques to calm the nervous system, I support individuals to overcome negative thought patterns and behaviors that do not serve them. I work toward an holistic approach to mental health, addressing both the mind and body.
Difference and Diversity
My work is shaped by extensive experience with children, young people and adults from diverse backgrounds with different abilities, with difference and diversity at the core of my practice. I have volunteered with Cruse Bereavement Care for more than three years and have also worked across hospitals, schools, and community-based support services.
