No Longer A Ghost In Your Own Life®
When your nervous system begins to feel safe,
you begin to feel like yourself again
90-Minute Therapy Sessions — weekly or fortnightly
For the steady, consistent rhythm of ongoing support.
50-minute sessions can end just as something important is beginning to emerge. That's why I work in 90-minute sessions- enough time for your nervous system to settle, for Brainspotting, to do its work, and for integration before the sessions closes.
🌿 "I liked that there was no set agenda. I turned up as myself each time and we worked with whatever came up that day. Sometimes I knew what I wanted to talk about or address with Brainspotting, other times it just came up once we got started."

Brainspotting intensives
Every intensive integrates Brainspotting with parts-informed therapy, and works with the nervous system.
You can talk as much or as little as you choose.
Some women come because anxiety has become overwhelming.
Some because betrayal has left them unable to move forward.
Others because they feel lost, no longer recognise themselves, or have never quite felt free to live as fully as they know they could.
You are allowed to want more for yourself.
During your clarity call, we will decide together where the work needs to begin.
Anxiety & Overthinking Intensive
You've always been the one who copes. Who holds it together, notices everyone else first, gets it right.
And still, the loop runs in your mind.
Your body holds the tension long after the day is done.
That is not failure.
That is a nervous system that has been working overtime - and evidence that anxiety doesn't live where understanding lives..
Betrayal Trauma Intensive
For women navigating infidelity, betrayal, shattered trust, and the painful uncertainty of what comes next.
When trust has been broken, the mind loops and searches.
An intensive creates dedicated space to process the shock, confusion, grief, and decision-making that betrayal often leaves behind.
Becoming You Intensive
For women who feel they have lost themselves - through narcissistic abuse, relational trauma, childhood emotional wounds, chronic people-pleasing, or years of adapting to survive.
Something in you knows you are no longer living as fully as you were meant to.
This intensive offers concentrated space to reconnect with yourself, increase your capacity for joy, and create meaningful movement where understanding alone has not been enough.
Meet me
I'm Sharon Nicholson - BACP Accredited Counsellor, Brainspotting Practitioner, and Certified Narcissistic Abuse Specialist™.
I know what it's like to feel stuck. To feel small or not enough. For a present-day experience to awaken something much older.
To understand what happened is in the past, and yet still find your body carrying the tension and the emotional stress.
These experiences changed not only my life, but the way I practise.
For over twenty years, I've worked with women living with the lasting effects of relational trauma, betrayal, narcissistic abuse, and the anxiety, self-doubt and nervous system dysregulation these experiences so often leave behind.
Many arrive knowing exactly why they feel the way they do.
They've had talking therapy, read the books, done the work - and still don't feel free.
That is the gap my work is designed to bridge.
By integrating Brainspotting with parts-informed therapy, we work with the nervous system as well as the thinking mind - because lasting change doesn't always happen through insight alone.
I intentionally work with a small number of clients at any one time, so each person has the time, attention and depth this work deserves.
Because this isn't about helping you become someone new.
It's about helping you feel safe enough to become yourself again - and available for the life that's been waiting.
🌿 "After having a number of unsuccessful attempts to find the right therapist for me... Sharon has been more than I had even allowed myself to hope for. She totally exceeded my hopes and every expectation I had."

A quiet place to begin - when you’re still trying to make sense of what happened
Not everyone is ready for therapy. Sometimes you are still making sense of what happened. Sometimes you simply need something to hold you while you find your footing.
I have created resources for exactly that space.
No Longer a Ghost in Your Own Life® - A 197-page relational trauma healing companion for women who find themselves stuck in self-doubt, with a quiet but persistent loss of trust in themselves.
Nineteen therapeutic letters and a guided journal for the many layers of this - the confusion, the self-doubt, the grief, and the part of you that quietly wonders where you went.
🌿 "I am finding the healing companion to be very grounding, reassuring, and helping me not feel "crazy." It is a wonderful and meaningful resource, particularly in a time of vulnerability and meaning-making."
