About Me
Sharon O'Connor - Counselling is my passion
I am an integrative counsellor, which means I use a range of therapeutic approaches & adapt my work to suit you as an individual. My priority is to offer a safe, supportive & non-judgemental space where you can talk openly at your pace. We will work together gently finding 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.
Testimonials
My work is shaped by extensive experience with individuals from diverse backgrounds, 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, school, and community-based support services.
Confidentiality is of upmost importance to me. Any testimonials shared have been carefully anonymised, with all identifying details removed to protect the privacy of those I have worked with.
