Sharon recognises that life can be difficult at times and that anyone can be stretched beyond their ability to cope. Sharing the struggle with someone who can empathise and respond compassionately with sound psychological support, can be like having someone light a candle in a dark room. Sharon views her clients as the experts of their own lives and uses her clinical skills to come alongside clients to develop a joint understanding and way to navigate through those parts or experiences that interfere with a meaningful life.
Sharon has worked effectively with a diverse range of clients and presentations including anxiety, depression, chronic pain, adjustment difficulties, trauma, identity problems, emotion dysregulation, stress, grief, relationship problems, and personal development. Sharon emphasises the therapeutic relationship as the core component that facilitates change.
Sharon uses a range of therapeutic modalities, including CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Schema Therapy to help her clients navigate through emotional, relational and psychological challenges. Sharon is also particularly interested in supporting her clients who want to integrate their spirituality or faith into their treatment.
