Brian Sharp

I have current availability Mondays through Fridays for telehealth counselling services. 

Do you second-guess your past decisions while also dreading the future? Maybe it’s hard to get going in the morning because you’re not sure what matters anymore. I’m guessing you’ve tried therapy or other treatments which may have helped temporarily, while your life eventually returned to the status quo. I’ve seen many people suffer for too long unnecessarily. That’s what makes me passionate about providing therapy that really makes a difference. I offer effective treatments for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, and more. I also support those in the LGBTQ+ community who may deal with these and other challenges.

I want you to feel understood as well as empowered to create a happier, more meaningful life for yourself. I use the most effective therapies available such as CBT and the Gottman Method. I also offer spirit mediumship (separate from therapy) for those dealing with grief, which helps some people feel more peace and connection to their loved one after loss.

Healing isn’t easy. I’ve been there myself and I know it’s often scary and frustrating. But I also know that the right support can be the difference. Many of my clients find more confidence, optimism, and improved relationships within just a few months of therapy, and I believe you can get there too. Contact me to set up a first appointment and get started.

***Individual counselling & couples counselling available***

As an openly gay man, I often work with clients, who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or queer. However, I also regularly work with those outside of the LGBTQ community and have done so since 2010. Licensed to practise as a counsellor in the U.S. states of Texas, Florida and Connecticut in addition to my accreditation status with BACP, I have worked with a wide variety of client concerns throughout my career--in private practise, hospital settings, and community mental health settings.

I have Level 2 training with the Gottman Institute--one of the foremost authorities on couples counselling and therapy. Additionally, I have completed past training with the Beck Community Initiative--a division of the Beck Institute--in treatment of depression with cognitive-behavioural therapy. I am also a member of the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies.

I offer confidential counselling services to individuals and couples throughout the United Kingdom via telehealth, allowing you to receive the care and attention you deserve from the comfort of your own home or office.

What past clients have said about their work with me:

"Not only is Brian good at what he does, but his understanding and genuineness speaks volumes. He's helped me put so many things in perspective, and I actually feel more confident for it. So, thank you for helping me find some of my confidence again, Brian. I almost forgot what it looked like."

"Brian was fantastic as a counselor; I’m actually kind of sad we were able to work through my issues because he’s such a pleasure to talk to. His skills in pinpointing the underlying cause of my issues was awesome, and he did a great job of balancing letting me talk and talking to me about developing tools to deal. The resources he provided were a huge help and I’ve got them saved for future review if I have issues crop up later. Highly recommend Brian if you’re serious about getting yourself on the right path."

Prior to our initial session, I will have you to complete some new client paperwork, which gives me some basic information about you, your goals for counselling and some information regarding our policies. These are completed conveniently and quickly online and only require an electronic signature from you. 

If you are seeking couples counselling, I will also have you and your partner to complete an online assessment, which gives me additional information on your relationship. This assessment requires a one-time payment of $39.00 USD to Gottman Connect--a division of The Gottman Institute--but gives me a wealth of relevant information about your relationship's strengths and challenges.
