Hello, and welcome to my page.  My name is Sharon and I have been a counsellor for the past 12 years.  

Finding the right counsellor can be daunting.  In fact life in general can be fairly daunting at times!  My aim as a therapist is to help you work out a way to deal with the anxieties and challenges that life can throw at us.  To do this it is important that I provide a safe and non-judgemental space where you can feel free to talk about issues which are troubling you.

I work in a pluralistic manner, which means that together you and I can find the sort of therapy which works best for you.  My main training is is Person Centred Work, with elements of Transactional Analysis and Gestalt .  I also hold a Diploma in CBT.

I offer 50 minute sessions, provided either face to face or via online video platform , whichever works best for you.  The actual number of sessions is down to you, although if you only want a few, then you may prefer us to work together with a CBT or solution focussed framework.

The first appointment will be a 30 minute free consultation session.  This gives you a chance to get to know me and to decide whether you feel comfortable working with me.  Having a therapist you like and trust is really important.  

I have extensive experience in working with trainee counsellors as both a tutor and clinical supervisor - I currently have availability for trainee counsellors.

I am an accredited  clinical supervisor working in the fields of humanistic integrative therapy and CBT.  I work either face to face or online, whichever best suits your needs as a supervisee.  

I have worked for a number of years as a clinical supervisor for  trainee counsellors, both individually and in group supervision.  I now also work as a CPCAB tutor at both L4 and L5, which means that I have a good working knowledge of the requirements of both PC-L4 and L5 CBT.

I also work extensively with qualified counsellors based in a range of settings such as schools, NHS services, charities, and in general private practice.  Most of my supervisees have been with me for a number of years.  

Most of my supervision work involves working with a supervisee for 1.5 hours monthly.  Some supervisees like this to be a one off session, others opt for two 45 minute sessions.  However I am happy to adapt the amount of supervision provided to meet the needs of the supervisee.

I offer a free 30 minute general assessment session (online), so that the supervisee and I can have a general chat about their supervisory needs.  This enables us both to decide whether we feel we can work effectively together.
