"Brainspotting made a massive difference to my counselling experience and took it to a completely different level"
~ Brainspotting review
"I felt I could see things clearer, I could see a way forward, it made me feel stronger yet relaxed"
~ Brainspotting review
“I was sceptical before trying it and couldn’t understand how it made such a difference and change, but having tried it and still not being able to explain how it works, appreciate that it has made a difference to me and how I cope and manage on a day to day basis.”
~ Brainspotting review
"I would like to fully endorse brainspotting. After suffering from a particularly bad pain in my back for a year and receiving physio and massage, it still hadn't fully left me. Somehow, during the session the pain came in really powerfully, and then left me and has not returned in the several months since. I don't know how it works, but it is extraordinary, and I felt very safe in Sharon's hands"

"Sharon is incredibly kind, supportive and patient. Counselling isn't an easy process but it is rewarding and Sharon respects this by creating a safe and relaxed environment. Sharon's warm, empathic approach and her ability to work with you at your own pace puts you instantly at ease. I would highly recommend to anyone considering counselling."

~ Counselling review
"After having a number of unsuccessful attempts to find the right therapist for me, I spent many years trying to heal myself from a lifetime of narcissistic abuse, from family, partners and friends.
It became apparent that I really needed help to fully process and understand the conditioning I had been programmed with from birth and the attachment cycles I was locked into. I needed to find a therapist I could fully trust, who was open, honest, trustworthy and compassionate.
Sharon has been more than I had even allowed myself to hope for, she totally exceeded my hopes or any expectation I may have had.
I have found Sharon to be very warm, gentle and insightful,extremely compassionate and totally without judgement. I am also a neurodivergent person and and am often misunderstood by people and misjudged, this was never an issue with Sharon because if ever she didn't understand, she would ask me and accept my replies without judging me.
She was also fun to work with, we often laughed in our sessions too, which I wasn't expecting.
I very quickly felt safe and at ease, free to explore my healing process in the way that felt intuitive and relevant to me. Sharon completely gave me the space, was supportive and adaptive to whatever emerged in any session.
I felt listened to, heard and deeply understood, which I have not had much experience of in my life. I have found this experience very validating and confidence building.
Our sessions have been life transforming for me, I feel like I have fast tracked out of many years living in a painful freeze state, not knowing how to move, where to move or what or who to trust.
I am still processing my changes, surprising myself with how very differently I feel, think and behave, it is an ongoing process, but I am happy and curious and look forward to learning more about myself and my potential now.
Sharon has been like a wonderful guide, helping to support me towards a better, happier life path, one I didn't know how to find fully for myself, because I had no reference points.
I will always be extremely grateful for "Sharon's kindness, generosity of spirit, her insights and the help she offered me."

" I struck gold (!) - in that this phrase relates to finding or achieving something valuable or successful.
In my case, getting in touch with Sharon and having our online weekly sessions has changed my life.
I have a greater understanding of myself, my emotions and why I was unconsciously triggered to behave in negative ways.
Sharon’s dedicated understanding and compassion has helped me become more self-aware. More self aware in every aspect.
My sessions with Sharon have had a profoundly positive effect on my adult life and I understand that my unresolved childhood trauma was a major stumbling block to my sense of maturity, inner self-esteem and peace.
Sharon has worked through the importance of coping strategies to enable me to react with control, curiosity and strength.
Thank you very much Sharon! "
