About me and my therapy practice
Hi I'm Sharon, a trauma therapist offering specialist online therapy with Brainspotting, across the UK.
"I am finally living my life in colour again, after 30 years in black and white" ~ Client review
You may not call it trauma, but emotional pain can leave an imprint, whether from a single life-altering moment or the quiet build-up of feeling unseen and unheard over many years.
You may feel anxious, burnt out, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns of self-criticism, procrastination, people-pleasing or perfectionism. Tired of shrinking yourself to fit spaces that never truly saw you.
This isn鈥檛 failure; it鈥檚 a signal and invitation for care and healing.
Together, we can create a safe space to help you reconnect with yourself, feel more grounded, better understand your experiences, and move towards healthier relationships and a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are.
With over 19 years鈥� experience, including 10 years in the NHS as a High Intensity Therapist and Clinical Supervisor, specialising in Counselling for Depression (PCE-CfD), I've undertaken training with some of the worlds leading professionals to bring you specialist, trauma-informed therapy with Brainspotting, a gentle yet powerful approach, evolved out of EMDR and somatic practices, helping you release what鈥檚 been held for too long and find better nervous system regulation.

Practice description
Experiences impact us body, mind and spirit, so when life hits hard, words alone may not feel like enough.
Brainspotting, an intuitive, brain-body-relational approach, helps us to process trauma and emotional overwhelm at a deeper level.
Grounded in neuroscience, Brainspotting supports your nervous system to release what鈥檚 stuck, not by reliving the pain, but by helping it shift.
I work well with individuals who:
- Are high functioning, heart-led, often the ones others rely on, longing to show up for themselves
- Have tried talking therapy but found it didn鈥檛 create lasting change
- Struggle with self-doubt, overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or procrastination
- Feel stuck, anxious, on edge, or numb, disconnected, and exhausted
- Walk on eggshells around others or feel like a shadow of their former self
- Feel unseen, unheard, or "not enough鈥�
- Tend to push through quietly, without asking for support
- Have experienced painful or confusing relationships
- Are curious, creative, and want to understand themselves more deeply
- Sense that emotional pain is held in the body, emotions, thoughts and nervous system, not just the mind
- Want more than just coping - Are seeking a greater capacity for joy, deeper meaning in their life, and authentic connection
- Are open to exploring body-mind approaches to feel more whole and truly themselves
Healing isn鈥檛 about fixing you - you鈥檙e not broken. It鈥檚 about creating space for the parts of you that haven鈥檛 been seen, heard, or held, so you can begin to heal unseen wounds, release what no longer serves you and reconnect with who you truly are.
My first session
Free-of-charge Clarity Call
- This is a free-of-charge phone call that lasts approx 20 minutes. This is for us to talk about what you are experiencing, what you need and if sessions with me may be helpful for you. This call is purely informative, and not a therapeutic service.
Full Initial Consultation
- The full initial consultation is 50 minutes long and is held via Zoom video, allowing us to explore in more detail and establish an initial focus for our work together. There is no obligation to book further sessions.
- If you do decide to continue with body-mind focused therapy, I offer either 90-minute or 50-minute sessions, depending upon your preference and needs. If you are unsure which would suit you best, we will discuss this together, to help you decide.
You really do deserve to be living a full life, with purpose and capacity for joy...a part of you likely already knows this if you are here reading this page, and I welcome your enquiry.
Warmly
Sharon
