About me
Do you have unhelpful patterns which negatively impact your well-being? Are you feeling overwhelmed with stress or anxiety? Misunderstood?
There are many unique reasons which may bring you to counselling. I offer a warm, compassionate space where we can build a therapeutic relationship based on trust, understanding, and acceptance. The counselling space is a confidential space which allows you to express yourself freely to help make sense of and explore the challenges you may be facing.
My name is Sharon. I am a qualified and BACP-registered integrative counsellor. I have experience in working with clients to help overcome addiction, anxiety, grief and trauma.
I offer in-person, online, or walk-and-talk counselling. These options can be discussed during a 20-minute consultation and tailored to your individual needs. This call is no obligation and gives the opportunity to explore together whether working together feels the right fit.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
