Narcissistic Abuse Specialist™
Focused, body-based work designed to support deep, lasting change.
Betrayal trauma isn't only about infidelity.
It’s what happens in any relationship where someone who should have been safe slowly leaves you feeling like a ghost in your own life.
This isn’t just about what happened.
It’s about what it did to you.
If something in you recognises that, you are in the right place.
You’ve likely gone over it countless times.
Replaying conversations. Retracing steps. Trying to understand what happened, when it shifted, what you missed, what you should have done differently.
And still, it doesn’t quite make sense.
Maybe you can name it now - betrayal, narcissistic abuse, a relationship that dismantled you from the inside out.
Or maybe you feel it more than you can explain it.
Something cost you more than it should have…and you’re still paying for it.
You feel stuck.
Living smaller than you are.
Drained. Exhausted.
And knowing that going over it one more time isn’t what will set you free.
What you’re really looking for is yourself.
Not the version shaped by what happened, but the one that was always there underneath.
The answers your mind keeps searching for aren’t found through more thinking.
They live in your body.
And that is where we begin.
This is where something different becomes possible.
🌿 "I finally feel like it's ok to be me."
— Client experience
You might recognise yourself here if:
If some of these feel close to home, you are in the right place.
You don't need the right language for what happened.
You don't need to be certain it was trauma.
What matters is this: somewhere underneath all of it, there is a version of you that knows exactly who they are, what they want, and what feels right.
This is who we are coming back to.

We cannot just think our way out of trauma.
This is why I work beyond traditional talking therapy.
Approaches such as Brainspotting allow us to access and process what is held beneath conscious awareness - to the place where trauma actually lives: in the nervous system, in the body, in the parts of you that adapted faithfully to a relationship that required you to be less than you are.
Not to think about it differently.
To feel it differently.
To release what's been held there. And to find your way back to yourself, not as a concept, but as something embodied and true.
You don’t need the perfect words to start. If something in you knows it’s time, you're welcome to book a free clarity call.
There is a way to feel steady again, and you are allowed to choose it.
Choose between two or three consecutive days of focused, immersive, body-mind focused therapy for those who are ready to stop going over the same ground and don't want to spread their sessions out over a longer period of time.
3-hour sessions each day.
This is the core of my work as it is a way of experiencing in days, what would normally take weeks or months of shorter sessions.
This is not just more therapy.
It’s a focused, immersive way of working that allows us to go further, without the stop–start of weekly sessions.
For many, this becomes a genuine turning point, not because we rush the process, but because we stay with it long enough for something to actually shift.
Offered following an initial consultation to ensure this is the right fit for you.
For ongoing support, or when intensives are not yet the right fit, weekly or fortnightly 90-minute sessions offer a consistent, spacious rhythm as you process what has been held, rebuild self-trust, and find your way back to yourself.
The same depth of approach at a pace that suits exactly where you are.

Brainspotting is a gentle, yet powerful, body-based therapy that helps you work through the effects of betrayal, trauma, and difficult relationships.
You don’t have to explain everything or find the right words. In fact, you can go at your own pace, even in silence if that feels easier.
Bilateral music is often played through earphones as you process.
We pay attention to what your body is holding onto, and let that guide the process in a way that feels safe and manageable.
You’re in control of the pace throughout, with space to pause, reflect, and process things in a way that feels right for you.

That feeling of being in conflict with yourself; one part done, another still loyal, one part furious, another ashamed of that fury, isn't weakness.
It's what happens inside us when we've had to adapt to a relationship that has cost us.
Parts-informed therapy helps those parts feel safe enough to soften, so you can stop being so hard on yourself, stop judging yourself, better understand your patterns, and start coming back to who you truly are.

I'm Sharon Nicholson, a BACP Accredited Counsellor, Brainspotting Practitioner, and Certified Narcissistic Abuse Specialist™.
I built this practice because I needed it and it didn't exist.
I have my own lived experience of relational trauma. I understand the pain, the confusion, the exhaustion, the particular disorientation of trying to make sense of something that was designed not to make sense.
I understand what it is to appear capable on the outside while something essential has quietly gone missing.
That's why I do this work, not just because of my training, because I know what's possible on the other side of it.
I work at the pace your nervous system allows. My approach is somatic and body-led, rooted in Brainspotting and parts-informed practice: gentle in pace, and genuinely effective at depth.
For many, this becomes a turning point.
I have over 20 years of clinical practice, and now work exclusively online, across the UK.
🌿 "To anyone thinking about starting this Brainspotting journey with Sharon, all I can say is just do it! The benefits are huge and it's time those of us who are affected by the past break free from it all and move forward with peace and happiness. Brainspotting is truly remarkable and Sharon is an excellent guide. I can highly recommend it!"
