Clients come to counselling when their normal coping mechanisms are no longer working for them and they are feeling overwhelmed, confused and afraid. It may be due to anxiety in their life, stress in work or relationships, low self esteem or depression. They come looking for clarity, a sense of understanding that they are not alone in what they are feeling and perhaps for practical techniques to manage the conflicting emotions. They also want to be really listened to and not to be judged as they tell their story.

Hello, my name is Sharon, I am an experienced psychotherapist, counsellor and clinical supervisor with over twenty years' offering counselling and therapy. I offer an attuned, kind, relational approach. Long and short term work is available for all issues big and small. Specialist in working with teens and young adults. Also working with parents/carers of younger children. Exploring any emotional issues, such as difficult childhood experiences, including experiences of abuse or trauma as well as general day to day stresses and issues. Sessions are offered in person in my welcoming room or online via zoom.

I know struggling alone is very hard and a fearful place to be in, being depressed, having intrusive thoughts, and feeling not good enough. These are all symptoms of your mental health. As a pre-accredited (IACP) psychotherapist, I want to provide a safe and friendly environment as I work with individuals and couples to help them overcome unhelpful thinking habits. I love working with people and have a passion for counselling and psychotherapy. I love to see people becoming more aware and living more peacefully, taking care of themselves, and being kind to themselves; this can be achieved in counselling and psychotherapy.

I never take for granted the fact that clients who come to counselling are at their most vulnerable. For those who are struggling with issues like depression, anxiety, abuse, both physical or mental, anxiety, relationship or sexuality and gender issues, my role in the first place is to listen and to provide a safe and confidential place for my clients to make sense of their experiences. Research has shown that the relationship between therapist and client is very important to the outcome of therapy, so I always check with my clients if they feel what we are doing in our sessions are working for them.

I am passionate about my work particularly with regard to how psychotherapy can make a real difference in your life. Psychotherapy offers you an opportunity to talk in times of crisis and can be a great support when feelings become overwhelming. Together we can work on developing coping skills, finding solutions, overcoming stress, and gaining meaningful outcomes.

Taking the first step in deciding to attend therapy is often the hardest part, it can be difficult to admit to ourselves that we may need the intervention of another to assist us on this journey. Coming to speak allows an individual to be heard in way that is specific to them, a singular , and not to fit the specifics of ticking the boxes. Speaking about your way of experiencing life and it's difficulties and challenges, can free up a person and allow them to look through a different lens.

I'm deeply passionate about counselling and psychotherapy, which fuels my mission to help individuals grow, heal, and develop.

Having genes for a mental illness is less than half of the story. Exposure to traumas is the essential other part that causes a disturbance in transmitters and hormones in the body. My clients contact me when they are looking for help for reducing psychiatric medications or before taking them. My experience and training involves helping a client process their traumas to heal them emotionally and with food supplements following Walsh protocol. In this format, food supplements are prescribed instead of psychotropic medications that participate in hormonal and neurotransmitter metabolism. I can speak English, Hindi/ Urdu and Punjabi.

Counselling offers you the tools necessary to bring your passions to life and let compassion, kindness and fun be part of your experience of life again. My job as your therapist is to co-operate with and enhance your journey towards wholeness. This is achieved by lovingly offering skills and experience, alongside knowledge of the terrain of personal development and creativity. I hold the assumption that people generally have the ability to understand themselves, are clever, honest, self-directed and able to solve their own problems. I'm here to support that assumption by reflecting back the light I see in you.
