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!
~ Client experience
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.
~ Client experience
Sharon is a wonderfully warm therapist, who held a safe and open space for me in every one of our sessions. I felt like I could talk about anything, no matter how big or small, and very often even just speaking the words out loud brought great insights and shifts. Working together over several months, I was able to explore deeper into my past and specific situations that held the key to freedom from being stuck living my life through the trauma lens.
~ Client experience
Since working with Sharon, I've learned so much more about myself, about what makes me tick, why I do or feel certain things, and how I have the option to change them. My past traumatic experiences no long rule how I live. I'm still learning and I don't think I'll ever stop learning, but I've gained a sense of freedom from constantly making choices from a place of fear and trauma response. I feel more confident, more relaxed, and ready to try out different ways of doing things to bring more joy into my life despite my earlier years.
~ Client experience
I just want you to know I am forever grateful for all of the help you gave me in our sessions. I am truly a different person now, much more confident and assertive with myself, I put myself first every day now too.
~ Client experience
I can honestly say that the Brainspotting has truly removed the blocks which I believe had been created by challenging life events. These blocks led to OCD, anxiety and panic attacks/avoidance which have plagued my life for the last 30 years. I have tried CBT, Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness, Compassionate Mind Training and have a whole library of books on the subject but nothing has really worked long term until I discovered Brainspotting.
~ Client experience
I am happier, sleeping better, feeling more positive, have more energy, breathing better, laughing more, I am getting my old self back and looking forward to the future again. I finally feel like it's ok to be me and it may sound like an exaggeration but I feel it is nothing short of a miracle as I have been trying to find an answer to this for so long.
~ Client experience
I would say to anyone suffering in this way not to give up and I would totally recommend Sharon and Brainspotting. I've finally got my life back!
~ Client experience
Sharon has a gift and has helped me to get my life back. When opportunities come along I am starting to say 'yes' instead of 'no' and I am finally living my life in colour again after 30 years in black and white
~ Client experience
"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...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."
~ Client experience
"Brainspotting made a massive difference to my counselling experience and took it to a completely different level"
~ Client experience
"I felt I could see things clearer, I could see a way forward, it made me feel stronger yet relaxed"
~ Client experience
“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.”
~ Client experience
"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"
~ Client experience
"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."
~ Google review

~ LinkedIn review
“I have been able to find a place where I can go to be present in the moment, I can feel the heat of the sun and hear the different sounds around me as if I was actually there. It has helped me to enjoy the small present moments"
~ Brainspotting review
" I struck gold (!) - in that this phrase relates to finding or achieving something valuable or successful. ...Thank you very much Sharon! "
~ Client experience
"I don’t know where I would be without these sessions.
Best decision I’ve ever made. Thank you!!"
~ Client experience
"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."
~ Client experience
"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."
~ Client experience
"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."
~ Client experience
"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."

"Life is much better now. Thank you so much"
