A warm, welcoming presence and a safe space to talk

COUNSELLING & THERAPY FOR INDIVIDUALS

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and it isn’t always easy to know where to turn. You may have been carrying a lot on your own for a long time.


I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can talk openly, express yourself freely, and feel truly heard.


I provide short and long-term counselling for adults of all ages and backgrounds. I will always work at your pace and within the ethical guidelines of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, of which I am a member.

MY APPROACH

As an integrative counsellor, I tailor my approach to suit you as an individual, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to support your needs. I offer a non-judgemental and supportive space where you can explore whatever is going on for you.


Together, we can gently make sense of your thoughts and feelings, helping you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships. I won’t tell you what to do or give advice, but I will support you in finding your own way forward at a pace that feels right for you.

There are many reasons people come to counselling. You don’t need to have everything figured out—sometimes it begins with a sense that things feel difficult, confusing, or not quite right.

Some of the areas we can explore together include:

Bereavement, grief, and loss

Life changes and transitions

Anxiety, including health anxiety

Low mood and depression

Feelings of guilt or shame

Relationship difficulties

Self-esteem and confidence

Experiences from childhood, including trauma

Experiences of abuse

This list isn’t exhaustive, and whatever you are going through, you are welcome to bring it to our sessions.

Getting Started

In your first session, you are invited to share as much or as little of your story as you feel comfortable. There is no pressure, no judgement, or fixed agenda. From there, we can begin to explore what is going on for you, noticing patterns, and helping you to gain a clearer understanding of yourself, your relationships, and your situation.

Sessions & Fees

Sessions last one hour and usually take place weekly. My standard fee is £50 per session; however, I offer some concessions and a limited number of subsidised spaces for those on a low income. Please don’t let cost be a barrier—if you feel you need support, you are very welcome to get in touch to discuss what options may be available.

Free Initial Call

I offer a free, no-obligation initial phone call to talk through what you’re looking for, answer any questions, and help you to feel at ease working with me. I believe the relationship between counsellor and client is at the heart of effective counselling, so it’s important that you feel comfortable from the start. Contact me to arrange a free initial call.

With their permission, here is what some clients have said about working with me:

I can't thank Sharon enough!! Following an attempt at suicide, I was in a really (I mean REALLY) bad place when I first met Sharon and over the next few months (it's not an overnight process) with Sharons help I found 'me' again. I'll always be grateful to this amazing woman

I can’t recommend this counsellor highly enough. From the very first session, they created a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where I felt genuinely heard and understood. Their empathy, insight, and professionalism helped me work through difficult challenges with confidence and clarity.

They have an incredible ability to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and provide practical tools that made a real difference in my day-to-day life. I always left each session feeling supported, empowered, and with a better understanding of myself.


If you’re looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and highly skilled counsellor who truly cares about their clients, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. I’m very grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on my wellbeing.

After 30 years of being “half a person”, carrying guilt, shame, and fear, Sharon showed me a kind of reflection that meant it didn’t have to be so. She walked beside me, helped me find the path, and opened the gates.

– R

Sharon was absolutely amazing all round. She was an invaluable safe place, able to take me through everything I thought I could not have gone through alone.
