I support adults (18 and over) with anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodiversity, abuse, and burnout.
Life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from ourselves and those around us. Burnout, stress, anxiety, low mood, chronic illness, life changes, or past trauma can all make it harder to cope and feel grounded in daily life. I offer a warm, compassionate space informed by both professional training and lived experience, where you can reflect, process difficult feelings safely, and gently untangle what’s been going on for you. Together, we explore what you need, at your pace, without pressure.

For Adults: Warm, supportive sessions where we talk through your thoughts and feelings, untangling heavy parts as you think out loud without filters. Together, we build a toolkit of strategies for outside the room. If talking feels uncomfortable, we bring in creative elements like drawing, painting, or games to release feelings in a gentler, more natural way. For Children & Teens: Sitting and talking for an hour can feel scary. I use play and creative therapies -art, toys, and games—to help them feel completely safe. This allows them to process emotions, release traumas, and build their own toolkits to regulate well outside therapy.

Sharon Andrea Shaw
Psychotherapist, MBBS, MBACP
Through understanding and healing from life experiences, including sexual abuse, narcissistic abuse, and patterns of both self-blame and blaming others, I have become more resilient.
In 2015, when I qualified as a psychotherapist, I remember saying to my tutor, "I believe in all the theories. What kind of therapist do I need to become?" His answer was simple: "Integrative." He explained that being an integrative therapist wasn't simply about learning different theories. It meant continually exploring my own life, remaining open to new research and never stopping learning. I committed to that journey because I believed something very strongly: How could I ask clients to look deeply at themselves if I wasn't willing to do the same?

Counselling and Psychology develops understanding; of why you think, feel & behave the way you do, looking 'behind the scenes’ of struggle; by understanding root causes, it equips you with the freedom to change & live the life you want to live and experience freedom from difficulty. You may be struggling to manage; anxiety, depression; or perhaps you have experienced difficulties in the past which still affect you; childhood trauma or adversity? Maybe relationship struggles are preventing you from closeness. Perhaps it's making you feel alone or different to others. You may be surprised how quickly you can get things off the ground.

Many of my clients are adults who are neurodivergent or living with the impact of trauma. They might struggle with emotional dysregulation, cPTSD symptoms, anxiety, or low self-worth, often feeling misunderstood or overwhelmed by daily life. Some are managing ADHD or autism alongside a history of difficult experiences. What they want is to feel seen and accepted, to better understand themselves, and to develop strategies that bring stability, confidence, and self-kindness, while building healthier relationships and a stronger sense of identity..

Sometimes you can look as though you’re coping while, inside, you feel anxious, overwhelmed or completely worn out. You may be stuck in the same patterns, struggling in a relationship, dealing with an addiction or still affected by something that happened in the past. Asking for help can feel uncomfortable, especially if you’re normally the one everyone else relies on. I’m friendly, caring and down to earth. You can talk to me about the things that feel difficult or embarrassing to say out loud, and you won’t be judged.

You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Perhaps past experiences or relational wounds still affect your confidence, relationships, or sense of self. You want to understand why you react the way you do, feel more emotionally steady, and build healthier ways of coping. Above all, you want to feel safe, understood, and able to move forward with greater clarity and resilience.

As a humanistic-integrative counsellor and supervisor+, I take the view that there is no single approach that can treat every client, in all situations. I therefore offer an approach to counselling that combines different elements of several specific therapies so as to enable me to provide the appropriate interventions for each individual. I believe each person is an 'unique whole' and counselling techniques are best tailored to fit the unique individuals needs and personal circumstances. It is of primary importance to me that I offer you highly confidential service based on you as an individual in your distinctive circumstances.

Domestic Abuse Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognise that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
