About Sharon
Sharon Facey is a counsellor with 12 years' experience and membership of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). She offers both short-term and longer-term work, using different ways of talking and understanding to suit each person's needs. Sharon draws on a range of approaches to help people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
Her day-to-day focus includes stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also supports people through relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem struggles and grief.
How Sharon works
Additional areas she addresses include parenting pressures, caring responsibilities, chronic illness, and the emotional impact of abuse or separation. In sessions Sharon uses Client-Centred ways of working alongside Cognitive Behavioural ideas and psychodynamic listening. She also brings solution-focused and trauma-informed methods as needed.
These approaches are mixed to match what someone needs rather than following one fixed method. Sharon has long experience supporting women and girls affected by domestic and sexual violence and people who experienced childhood sexual abuse. She also works with people managing burnout, compassion fatigue, and major life changes such as divorce or bereavement.
Sessions are offered in English and can be taken online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sharon accepts international clients and helps people set clear, realistic goals so therapy fits around their life and priorities.

Online support options
Bringing therapeutic approaches online for flexible care
Sharon uses Client-Centred Therapy to place the person's experience at the heart of the conversation. It focuses on listening, empathy and helping someone find their own answers, which can help with low self-esteem, relationship doubts and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to try small changes that can reduce anxiety and depression. It is practical and goal-focused, often helpful for sleep issues, stress and mood symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree a mix of methods to try. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as progress or circumstances change.
Online sessions make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face dialogue, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people access consistent support from wherever they are, with scheduling that can suit work, family and treatment commitments.
