About Sharon
Sharon Facey is a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy and relationship concerns, bereavement, low self-esteem and other life changes. Sharon also lists codependency among her focus areas and supports people dealing with parenting, career strain and ADHD-related issues.
Sharon has a long history of supporting women and girls affected by domestic and sexual violence. That background informs how she listens and responds to experiences of abuse, childhood sexual abuse and caring roles. She draws on many methods so sessions can be practical and emotionally attentive.
Her practice blends client-centred listening with cognitive and psychodynamic ideas. That means she pays attention to present worries and to patterns that developed earlier in life. Therapy often involves looking at thoughts that keep problems repeating, and at how relationships shape choices and feelings.
Sharon also uses short-term, solution-focused techniques when clients want clearer steps forward. For people coping with trauma she brings trauma-informed ways of working alongside other approaches. Sessions can include coaching elements when goals are practical, such as work or study plans.
People who come wanting help with people-pleasing, boundary-setting or feeling lost in relationships will find direct conversation about those patterns. Sharon helps name patterns, try new responses, and practise different ways of relating. She asks about each person’s goals and works at a pace they can manage.
How sessions work
How Sharon uses therapeutic approaches online
Sharon works with client-centred methods that prioritise listening and the person’s own perspective. This approach focuses on what matters to the person now and helps them name their priorities and choices.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and offers practical ways to test new responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and for learning how to set boundaries in relationships.
Her trauma-informed work recognises the effects of abuse and overwhelming events. When trauma is a concern she combines careful pacing with strategies to reduce overwhelm and to build steadier coping in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. Sharon will ask about goals, past experiences and what feels doable, then suggest options and steps to try. That lets people experiment with methods and keep what helps.
