About Sharon
Sharon Facey is a counsellor with 12 years' experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers both longer-term counselling and shorter-term coaching to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems and codependency. Sharon presents a calm, compassionate presence and aims to make it easier to talk about difficult experiences.
Sharon uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. She draws on client-centred work to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioural ideas are brought in to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Psychodynamic and trauma-focused ways of working are used to make sense of painful past events and patterns that repeat.
Her background includes many years supporting women and girls affected by domestic and sexual violence, and those impacted by childhood sexual abuse. That experience informs her practice when people bring trauma, grief, survivor issues or compassion fatigue into sessions. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, caregiving strain and bereavement.
Sharon helps people who face challenges with intimacy, attachment, abandonment and codependency. She also works with concerns such as sleeping problems, anger, career stress, ADHD, and bipolar mood issues. Conversations can focus on practical goals like improving communication, setting boundaries and building self-esteem.
Sessions aim to blend emotional listening with practical steps. Sharon encourages people to name their goals and then explores ways to reach them, whether that means steady therapeutic work or short-term coaching. International clients may be scheduled and sessions are conducted in English.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Sharon combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural and trauma-focused approaches in session. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions, which can help with low self-esteem and relationship issues. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and is useful for anxiety, stress and coping strategies. Trauma-focused therapy helps people understand and work through painful memories and reactions that affect daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to match goals and preferences. The process is collaborative so the client helps shape whether sessions focus on exploration, practical skills or a mix of both.
Please confirm available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people connect with a therapist in the UK from other locations, while keeping the focus on making therapy fit around everyday life rather than on logistical barriers.
