Mo Sharpe

I am a qualified  and accredited counsellor and supervisor running a private practice in Hitchin. I work with couples and individuals and have extensive experience working with children and young people. I also offer relationship counselling,family therapy and mediation.

I believe that we all have inside us, the answers that we seek. And in discovering for yourself what you need, I believe the change is easier and longer lasting.

Starting some counselling can be for many reasons...it could be that you are currently struggling with life, due to major emotional upheaval or you could be looking to understand yourself better, to make steps towards a different future.

Whatever it is that brings you to counselling, I believe that the person-centred way of working allows the time and space for YOU to decide what it is you need.

Person-centred counselling is a ‘non-directive’ approach which provides you with an opportunity to explore your feelings and be emphatically understood without judgement in a safe relationship with your Counsellor. This ‘therapeutic’ environment is likely to help you discover your inner wisdom and make personal changes towards a more satisfying way of living and being.
My aim is to be alongside you as you discover the answers hidden inside. My hopes would be that together we can find the way to resolve the difficulties that you are facing, whatever they may be.
