About Sharon

Sharon Facey is a counsellor who draws on an integrative approach to help people make sense of painful life events. She uses a range of methods to match each person’s needs and prefers a warm, grounded way of working. Sharon is a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists - BACP.

She has 12 years of experience and a long history supporting people affected by domestic and sexual violence.

Background and approach

Much of her work has focused on survivors of childhood sexual abuse and those with poor mental health after traumatic experiences. This background shapes how she listens and responds to distress. Sharon blends client-focused listening with practical tools.

Sessions may include talking about early relationships, current worries, or habits that get in the way of feeling well. She can introduce strategies to manage anxiety, improve sleep and handle strong emotions like anger and grief. People also come to Sharon for help with work pressure, relationship problems, parenting stress and identity concerns such as LGBT issues.

She pays attention to how physical health, long-term illness or caring responsibilities affect mood and coping. Her style aims to create space for honest conversation and for rebuilding momentum. Sharon offers both short-term focused work and longer-term counselling depending on what someone needs.

She supports people who want clearer thinking, steadier emotions and more confidence in everyday life.

How Sharon's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so people can find their own solutions and feel heard; this can help with low self-esteem, relationship worries and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical strategies to reduce anxiety, tackle low mood and improve sleep.

Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to help people process distressing experiences and reduce their ongoing impact. Work can include careful pacing, grounding techniques and revisiting memories in a supported way to lessen their hold on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera is tiring, and messaging or live chat suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, caring or distance from urban centres.
