About me and my therapy practice
Looking for therapy that feels right for you? I offer expert, compassionate support for just £45 a session, making quality therapy affordable without compromising care. I use a mixture of approaches, talking, practical and solution focussed to be tailored for you. I create a supportive and enjoyable place to be yourself. I have over 30 years of experience working in the health field and in the last 5 years as a therapist.
I specialise in working with anxiety, depression, relationships and trauma. I work short-term and long-term, I often work with people with complex issues such as grief.
"Sharon is an exceptionally empathetic and understanding person." Client
"I really appreciated her ability to identify the possible motivators behind my feelings and to acknowledge what was difficult whilst also providing really helpful and practical guidance for coping and healing strategies." Client
"Even just a few sessions with Sharon was incredibly helpful, and I felt very comfortable speaking to her again whenever I needed to, even if many months has passed." Client
You can trust I will treat you with respect, compassion and dignity. I pride myself on being professional and reliable.
I offer, in person, phone and video link sessions. My in person sessions are at Natures Way in Ashton, Preston.
Whatever your reasons for thinking of therapy, I'm glad you found me. Therapy is an incredible experience and a positive step. I may be the right fit for you.
Practice description
I provide a supportive structure, a beginning, middle and end for each session. Helping you identify what you feel would be useful for that session, taking it at your pace and being with you in what you want to talk about. I'll stay with you, as you think, share, remember and find the words. Together exploring your experiences or issues, gaining awareness, and leading to positive changes. I'll keep your hopes and goals in mind as we work together.
From experience I know I can provide a comfortable space, where you feel at ease quickly.
If you would like to contact me, I will reply quickly and help put you at ease. I offer a free 30mins consultation. I currently work in private practice and also with Wellbeing in the Arts organisation..
My website has further information.
My first session
After our initial free 30 mins consultation we will have an idea of your hopes and areas of where you would like to work. In our first session we will build on this. I will talk through and explain our counselling agreement which explains confidentiality and data protection. After this the session is then yours to take it where you feel would be most useful. If you are unsure of where to start I will help and support you with this.
