More about Sharon

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • NCPS

Whatever your reasons for seeking counselling, I offer a warm, safe, supportive space to share your thoughts and feelings, building calm and resilience for the future. I work in a person-centred, pluralistic way - which put simply, means I'll work in whatever way suits you best.

We can’t change what’s happened to us but we can change how it affects us. Together we can practice new ways of dealing with challenges, giving you the freedom to be the person you want to be. I can help you with anxiety, bereavement, loss of confidence, midlife changes, illness, family difficulties and just feeling more like 'you' again.

Feelings of unhappiness, anxiety and distress can be overwhelming but talking things through and understanding where those feelings have come from, can really help.

Please get in touch to arrange a session - I'd love to support you in feeling more like you again.

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.
