What's Different About Working This Way?
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.
There is a way to feel steady again.
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.
Therapies I Offer
Therapy With Brainspotting
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.
Parts-Informed Therapy
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.

Meet Me
I'm Sharon Nicholson, BACP Accredited Counsellor, Brainspotting Practitioner, and Certified Narcissistic Abuse Specialist™.
Put simply, 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!"
