About Sharon
Sharon Facey is a BACP counsellor with 12 years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self esteem and depression, among other concerns.
Sharon uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people notice patterns that cause pain. She often draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. She also uses client-centred and psychodynamic approaches when exploring early experiences and relationship patterns.
Her background includes long-term work supporting women and girls affected by domestic and sexual violence and childhood sexual abuse. That work has involved helping people cope with complex emotional reactions, dissociation and relationship problems.
Sessions can focus on concrete goals such as improving sleep, managing anxiety, coping with grief, or sorting out work and career decisions. Sharon also supports people working through issues like attachment, abandonment, codependency and boundaries.
She blends short-term problem solving with deeper exploration depending on what a person needs. Conversations will look at current difficulties, past patterns and practical steps to try between sessions. Practical coaching techniques are available alongside counselling conversations.
Sharon works in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Sharon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, client-centred methods and psychodynamic ideas in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety or low mood. Client-centred work prioritises listening and reflecting to help people make sense of how they feel. Psychodynamic approaches look at past relationships and patterns to understand repeated difficulties in current life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss options and agree a plan based on a person's goals, preferences and the issues they bring. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs evolve.
