About Sharon
Sharon Facey is a counsellor with 12 years' experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers both short-term and longer-term work and aims to create a calm space where people can talk about difficult experiences without judgement.
Her practice draws on a mix of approaches so sessions can be shaped to what feels useful. Sharon uses client-centred listening, psychodynamic thinking about past patterns, and cognitive behavioural ideas to help with unhelpful thoughts. She also brings solution-focused tools and trauma-focused methods when these fit the issue being explored.
Sharon has extensive experience supporting people affected by domestic and sexual violence, childhood sexual abuse, and ongoing mental health challenges. She also helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and coping with life changes including chronic illness and cancer. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is one of the areas she lists.
Work in sessions moves between listening and practical steps. That can mean naming patterns from the past, trying out different ways to respond, or setting small goals to change day-to-day life. Sharon also offers coaching-style conversations when the focus is on career or personal goals.
Sessions consider the whole person - mind, body and beliefs - and are conducted in English. Sharon accepts international clients and uses an approach aimed at helping people feel steadier and clearer about their next steps.
Approaches that shape online work
Sharon often draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what the person brings, which helps when someone needs space to tell their story. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try practical steps to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful patterns.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past traumatic events are central to current difficulties. That approach aims to gently address trauma memories and their effects, alongside stabilising strategies to manage strong emotions and improve day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon will work collaboratively to decide what fits best based on your needs, goals and preferences. That may mean mixing listening, reflective work about past patterns, and short practical exercises to try between sessions.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can remove travel time, allow for quieter surroundings, or enable a shorter check-in during a work break. Many people find that combining reflective conversation with practical tasks works well in an online setting.
