About me
Hello my name is Sharon. I understand that life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, navigating a major life transition, working through a past un resolved experience, or looking for someone to support around your life goals counselling can be a transformative tool. I believe that making that first step of change to prioritise you can have a positive impact upon your wellbeing. Counselling offers a space to explore your thoughts and emotions in a safe, non- judgemental environment. As an experienced integrative counsellor with over 10 years experience across private practice, G.P surgeries , University settings, and as a lecturer in counselling skills, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches and counselling skills to meet the unique needs of each client.
I Provide a space for deep reflection, self understanding and self acceptance and it is throughout this process you can gain clarity, build resilience, and develop coping strategies in order to move forward in a way that feels right for you.

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.
