Sharon Facey , BACP

Sharon Facey is a counsellor who works from a compassionate, person-centred place. She draws on 12 years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sharon supports people who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma and the everyday pressures of life.

She has a long history of supporting women and girls affected by domestic and sexual violence and childhood sexual abuse. That background shapes how she listens and responds to people dealing with emotional harm and complicated recovery. Sharon also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, grief and parenting strain.

Sharon uses a mix of approaches rather than a single technique. She blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking, and also draws on solution-focused and trauma-informed methods as needed. She chooses what feels most helpful for each person rather than following one fixed method.

Sessions involve straightforward conversation about current problems, practical steps to try between meetings, and reflection on past patterns that keep difficulties repeating. Sharon pays attention to the whole person - mind, body and life circumstances - when planning next steps.

People come with goals such as feeling less anxious, coping with a trauma history, improving relationships, or finding clearer direction at work or home. Sharon works collaboratively to set practical, realistic goals and to review progress over time.

How Sharon's approaches work online

Sharon commonly combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy and trauma-focused ideas. Client-centred work focuses on listening, understanding and building a trusting relationship so people can talk openly about what matters. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at helpful and unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and introduces practical techniques to change them. Trauma-focused approaches pay attention to how past harm affects current feelings and safety, and they use careful steps to help people process painful memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different methods, and then adapt the plan as you make progress. That collaborative process helps match methods to your needs rather than imposing one way of working.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel when that helps. Phone sessions work well when you need lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want shorter exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life, and they let you continue work even if you move or travel.
