Sharon FaceyBACP

Sharon Facey is a counsellor with 12 years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers both longer-term therapy and shorter coaching style sessions. Sharon commonly works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, ADHD and work-related difficulties.

Sharon draws on several therapeutic styles to meet each person's needs. She uses client-centred ways of listening that prioritise what matters to the individual. Cognitive behavioural ideas are offered when practical steps and symptom-focused work are useful. Psychodynamic thinking helps uncover patterns rooted in past experience.

Her background includes many years supporting women and girls affected by domestic and sexual violence and childhood sexual abuse. This experience informs how she approaches safety, pacing and trauma-related material in sessions. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through painful memories and current challenges.

Sharon also works with people looking for coaching around career, study or life goals. Sessions can combine practical planning with emotional reflection to clear obstacles and set manageable steps. She attends to the whole person, including the body and the meaning people attach to their lives.

Sharon practises in the United Kingdom and speaks English. She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds, including LGBT clients, and accepts international clients through the service.

How Sharon's approaches translate to online support

Sharon commonly blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural and trauma-focused ideas. Client-centred therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting what matters to the person, which helps build trust and clarity about goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, sleep problems and mood. Trauma-focused methods support people to work through distressing memories at a pace that suits them and to develop coping skills for triggers.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will talk with you about your needs, hopes and any concerns, and together you can try approaches that fit your situation. She adapts the way she works as the relationship grows and as goals change, so the plan is shaped by your preferences and progress.

Please confirm current digital session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people continue work across moves or study, while keeping therapy focused on practical steps, emotional processing and rebuilding day-to-day routines.
