Professional Support
Sharon Nicholson Registered, MBACP, Accred
My name is Sharon Nicholson and I am a BACP Registered and Accredited Counsellor in Weymouth, Dorset.
I offer effective 1:1 counselling to help you to feel better about yourself and improve your quality of life.
Professionally trained in London and the South West, I work with people from across Dorset and the surrounding counties.
I established my Private Practice in 2007, and alongside this, I worked as a High Intensity Counsellor in the NHS for 10 years.
I am also a Clinical Supervisor - supervising the work of other counsellors.
My post qualification training with The Metanoia Institue, London, allowed me to specialise in Counselling for Depression (CfD) within the NHS.
I have also helped many people experiencing anxiety, adjustment difficulties after significant life events and a general sense of dissatisfaction or unrest with their lives.

Are You Ready for Change?
There is always hope
I feel very privileged to be doing the work that I have a passion for.
I have had some excellent training and I enjoy sharing my experience and learning to help others to make a positive difference to their lives.
★ Together, we can help you through difficult life experiences.
★ You can gain insight into your relationships and patterns of behaviours - this awareness will give you choices.
★ You can learn to be less self-critical and make choices that are empowering.
Since qualifying in 2006, I have worked with people of all ages seeking support for many different reasons, including: bereavement, loss, depression, anxiety, stress, burn-out, complicated grief, bereavement by suicide, relationship issues, anger, mid-life experience, long-term health conditions, feelings of guilt or shame, childhood sexual abuse, domestic abuse, trauma, divorce, redundancy, low self-esteem, work-place issues and coping with change…
Slow Down...
If you feel conflicted and that life is getting on top of you, I can help you to slow down, and find some breathing space in order to find greater clarity around your needs.
You have already taken the first courageous step towards positive change. Take a look through the rest of my website to find out more about how I work and what I can offer you.
