About Sharon
Sharon Facey is a counsellor and psychotherapist with 12 years' experience and BACP membership. She offers both longer and shorter term work and supports people dealing with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and relationship issues.
Sharon has extensive background supporting people affected by domestic and sexual violence and childhood sexual abuse. That work has involved supporting women and girls with complex emotional needs and poor mental health over many years.
Her practice draws on several approaches and mixes them to match the person in front of her. She uses client-centred listening to understand what matters, psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns, and cognitive behavioural tools to test and change unhelpful thinking.
Sharon also works with solution-focused and trauma-informed methods alongside coaching skills when goals and practical steps are helpful. She frames therapy in plain terms - talking through blocks, naming patterns and trying out new ways of coping and relating.
Typical aims include improving performance at work or in study, repairing or clarifying relationships, managing mood difficulties, or navigating life changes such as separation, grief or health challenges. She supports people with concerns such as ADHD, bereavement, parenting strain, chronic illness and the emotional fallout from abuse.
Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom and Sharon accepts international clients. Before booking she asks people to use the matching questionnaire so they can schedule an initial session.
How Sharon uses therapy approaches online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what you say. It helps people gain clarity about their values and what they want to change. This approach is useful for people feeling uncertain about next steps or wanting a steady, respectful space to talk.Cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT works with thoughts and behaviours. It breaks problems down into manageable steps and offers practical techniques for anxiety, low mood and sleep issues. CBT is often used when clear goals and short-term change are priorities.
Trauma-focused work pays attention to the impact of past events on current feelings and relationships. It uses careful, paced methods to reduce distress and build coping skills. That approach is frequently helpful for people recovering from abuse or overwhelming experiences.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon discusses options with each person and together they decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process that can shift as goals change.
