I cannot thank Sharon enough and am amazed at how far I have come working with her. I have had other therapists in the past and this was my last hope of feeling better in a way so I didn’t have great expectations, but wow I’ve done so much healing. She is a so easy to talk to and put me at ease from the outset and I’ve never once felt judged. It’s priceless to feel the impact of looking at things differently. I feel more a sense of freedom from my past than I ever have so far. I am so glad I reached out for help and so glad I found Sharon, specifically. I have only positive feelings about the whole experience and wish I did this sooner. Thankyou Sharon for making my world and the world a better place.

Hi there, I’m Sharon, a BACP Accredited Counsellor with over 15years experience, post-qualification, including 5 years with charities and 11 years with the NHS in mental health units, prisons, in-patient and community settings. I continue to work for the NHS, as a part-time counsellor, seeing patients experiencing mild, moderate or severe depression and/or anxiety, who have either referred themselves directly to the NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapy (IAPT) service or who have been referred by their GP. I’m also a self-funded, newly qualified Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) trauma therapist and practice this privately.
My counselling practice is grounded on the core conditions of Person-Centred Therapy thus creating a calm, non-judgemental, empathic space where the client is at the heart of the process. I am DBS cleared to work with adults and children and my aim is to help clients realise the therapeutic lightbulb moments that enable them to find the best ways to move forward emotionally, therefore helping them through that process without telling them what do to. I also have experience or training in other therapeutic approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and Compassion Focused therapy (CFT), so I’m able to apply techniques to tailor my care and support to client need. I aspire to strengthen each person's confidence, whilst encouraging their personal growth, and specialise in depression, anxiety, bereavement, family conflicts, betrayal and loss, and have personal experience in all these areas, which I feel provides a deeper level of understanding.
My personal style is a non-judgemental one of openness with a genuine desire to support people to move forward in their lives whilst creating a relaxed, sometimes fun, atmosphere.
My therapeutic achievements include:
• EMDR Qualification
• BACP Accreditation
• Certificate in Life Coaching
• Certificate in DBT Individual Therapy Training
• Certificate in Personality Disorder Awareness
• Master’s Degree in Person Centred Counselling
• Certificate and Advanced Certificate in Person Centred Counselling
As for me personally, I enjoy meeting people, learning new things, DIY and socialising but also cherish relaxing times like spending time with my family and socialising with friends, some of whom I have known since primary school. I have a bright and bubbly personality and get on well with people regardless of things like age, gender, culture or background.
My aim is to support people to not only live, but to live the best life that they can, whilst managing whatever situation they may be experiencing.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
