About Sharon

Sharon Facey is a counsellor who uses trauma-focused and client-centred ways of working to support people through difficult times. She holds BACP registration and brings 12 years of experience to sessions. Sharon offers both shorter coaching-style meetings and longer-term counselling depending on need.

Sharon draws on trauma-focused approaches alongside cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about painful experiences, relationship worries, stress and anxiety.

Background and approach

The work also covers grief, low self-esteem, sleep problems and career pressures. Her background includes long experience supporting women affected by violence and childhood sexual abuse. That work informs a sensitive approach to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and complex trauma-related reactions like dissociation.

Sharon also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain and the emotional impact of serious health conditions. Sessions focus on what the person needs now. Sharon helps identify barriers, try new ways of coping and rebuild connection with hopes and goals.

She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to address symptoms, alongside psychodynamic reflection to understand recurring patterns. People may come to work on intimacy issues, parenting stresses, relationship problems or career decisions. Sharon also offers support around ADHD-related coping, compassion fatigue and managing life changes.

She balances practical steps with reflective conversation to help people move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people name and process distressing memories and reactions so those memories hold less power over day-to-day life. It can help with symptoms like anxiety, sleep disturbance and dissociation that follow traumatic experiences.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to offer non-judgemental listening and support. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of feelings and decide on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, lift mood and improve sleep. It is often used alongside other approaches for clear symptom relief.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to match methods to their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions begin by exploring what matters most and then test useful strategies together.

Online sessions come in several formats: video calls for fuller conversation, phone sessions when video is not possible, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health demands and to choose the style of contact that feels most manageable.
