Sharon is absolutely fantastic. She is always happy to either lead the session or if you prefer, will allow you to open with what you'd like to talk about. She is open minded, non-judgmental and despite having had numerous counselling sessions before, she's the first to actually make revalations that have completely changed how I understand myself. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!

More about Sharon

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a qualified intergrative counsellor and psychotherapist with over 20 years experience in supporting those who find life challenging. I am best placed at helping individuals find their way, making sense of who they are and where they wish to go. My strengths lie in helping make closure on the past to achieve a brighter future.

I am warm, caring and creative, I offer both a safe place to reflect and explore as well as a place to grow and learn. I use a variety of tools such as Narrative Therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, person centred, transactional analysis, psychodynamic approach.

I also make use of creative techniques to overcome parts of our self that we may struggle with and ways to manage those overwhelming feelings and emotions.

I have successfully worked with clients who present with depression, anxiety, relationship and family problems, hurts, habits and hang ups, loss and grief, parenting problems, career issues, adverse childhood experiences and trauma.

I am a strong advocate for self efficacy and believe that no one knows us better than we know ourselves and with some help from time to time we all need a little direction towards the sun to help our sunflower flourish.

If you feel that this is your time for change then take the first step and get in touch with me and let’s start the journey together.

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.
