Hi, I’m Sharon. 

​

My work grew from lived experience. Over 15 years ago, while studying for my degree at home and raising three young children, I found myself overwhelmed and quietly questioning how sustainable everything really was. I knew something needed to change — not dramatically, but gently.

That moment became the beginning of a journey back to balance, self-understanding, and a deeper appreciation of how our thoughts, emotions, and nervous system shape the way we live.

Today, I support adults, young people, and children who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. My approach is warm, grounded, and relational. I don’t believe in rushing people or offering quick solutions — I believe change happens when we feel safe enough to slow down and listen to ourselves.

How I Work

I’m a Clinical Hypnotherapist, wellbeing practitioner, and mindfulness facilitator, and I am currently training towards qualification as a counsellor. As part of this training, I practise counselling under supervision, working within clear ethical and professional boundaries.

I work integratively, drawing on counselling skills alongside hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and other evidence-based approaches, always tailoring the work to the individual, their age, and what feels right for them.

When working with children and young people, support is adapted in a developmentally appropriate way, with safeguarding and parental involvement included where needed.

Alongside my therapeutic work, I’m also a part-time teacher, a mum to my now grown children, a wife to my husband David, and an aromatherapy enthusiast. These roles keep me grounded in real life — and they shape the way I meet the people I work with.

A Gentle Place to Begin

You don’t need to have the right words, a clear plan, or everything worked out. Sometimes the first step is simply finding a space where it feels safe to talk.
