About Beverley
Beverley Sprot is a counsellor and a member of the BACP with three years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, addictions, family problems, grief, parenting challenges, career concerns and depression.
Beverley uses a blend of person-centred work alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused techniques. Her practice aims to be practical and direct. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on small, manageable steps to get there.
In conversations she invites people to describe their concerns and what they already do that helps. She listens for patterns in thinking and behaviour and suggests simple ways to test different responses. Where helpful, she introduces short exercises from CBT and sets clear, achievable goals informed by solution-focused ideas.
Beverley also pays attention to relationships and family context. She will talk through communication problems, issues around commitment and separation, and the effects of abandonment or infidelity. Work can include looking at anger, jealousy, guilt and shame to help people understand their reactions.
Her style is straightforward and focused on practical change. Sessions often include reflections on recent events, checking what worked between meetings, and setting one or two steps to try before the next session. People who prefer clear aims and short-term work often find this approach useful.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Beverley works with a mix of person-centred practice, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused methods. Person-centred work means the counsellor listens closely to what matters to the client and follows their priorities. It suits people who want to be heard and to build on their existing strengths.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to try different behaviours, useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on identifying what already helps, which can speed up progress when there are clear goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Beverley will discuss different methods in early sessions and decide together which techniques match the client's needs, goals and preferences. She aims to keep the plan simple and to review what is working as therapy proceeds.
If you want to use online counselling, please confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week, avoiding travel and choosing quieter surroundings. Some formats use less bandwidth or offer shorter check-ins, which can be easier to fit around work or family commitments.
