About Sharon
Sharon Facey is a counsellor with 12 years of practice who works from an integrative, person-focused stance. She holds BACP membership, and she offers both short-term and longer-term sessions that aim to help people find clearer ways forward. Sharon speaks English and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
She draws on a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. That can mean focusing on present-day patterns with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, listening deeply to life stories in Psychodynamic work, or using Client-Centred methods that centre the person’s perspective.
Background and approach
Sharon adapts the mix so sessions feel practical and relevant. Many people come to her for issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, or parenting strain. She also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, career difficulties, and the effects of codependency or attachment wounds.
Sharon has long experience working with gender-based violence and childhood sexual abuse; that background informs how she holds sensitive material and past harm. Her practice aims to create space for people to explore difficult memories, set clearer boundaries, and work towards more stable day-to-day coping. Sessions combine listening with practical steps.
People may look at unhelpful thinking, try new ways of communicating, or set short goals between meetings. Sharon frames this work as a collaborative process focused on what the individual wants to change.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and introduces small, practical experiments to change them. In online work CBT often includes setting short tasks between meetings, using worksheets or brief check-ins over messaging to track progress.
Psychodynamic work pays attention to repeating patterns and past relationships that shape current feelings. Carried out online, it still allows time to notice recurring themes, make links, and name long-standing patterns that affect mood and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals and preferences, and she may combine elements from different approaches as the work develops.
Online sessions are convenient and flexible. Video calls suit longer therapeutic conversations, phone sessions can work when internet is limited, live chat offers quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short reflections or reminders between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life.
