Profile

Hello, I'm Sharon, a 40 year old British female and experienced counsellor. I meet with clients in a ground floor purpose built counselling room with disabled access. I'm a very 'down to earth', friendly, straight-talking person and believe that if people are brave enough to come to counselling, they deserve the best help possible!  If I'm not the 'right' counsellor for you, I'll do my best to help you find someone who is as I know many counsellors in my area and their areas of specialities.

I am also the proprietor of 'The Listening Centre' which was established in 2002 in response to the needs of local organisations to provide welfare support and stress management solutions for their employees. We have grown to a team of 12 affiliate counsellors who provide a range of effective services that reduce the hidden costs of stress and promote an ethos of well being within the workplace. These services include counselling, mediation, critical incident debriefing and training workshops.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I have held a 'Diploma in Humanistic Counselling' since 2002 and have been working with clients since 2001. I am currently studying towards a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (despite having used this approach in my practice over the years).

Referrals come from GP's, Employers, Occupational Healthcare Services, Employee Assistance Programmes as well as self referrals.

I have also Lectured for South Staffordshire College for 5 years to Diploma level in Counselling Courses.

Like all professional practitioners, I regularly attend courses, workshops and seminars for developmental purposes.

I appreciate that making that initial step can be extremely nerve wracking, but I would be happy to have a chat with you prior to making an appointment to establish if counselling/I am the best form of help.
