About Sharon
Sharon Facey is a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has twelve years of experience. She offers both longer-term counselling and shorter coaching-focused work. Sharon lists anger among many concerns she helps people with, alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues.
She has spent two decades supporting women and girls affected by violence against women and girls, domestic and sexual abuse, and childhood sexual abuse. That background shapes how she listens and responds to people who bring distress linked to past harm. Sharon uses several therapy approaches so she can adapt to different needs and styles.
In sessions she mixes client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking. That means she attends to what someone is feeling now, looks at troubling thought patterns, and gently examines past relationships that continue to matter. Solution-focused tools appear when someone wants practical steps and short-term change.
Sharon describes her work as drawing on mind, body and life experience. She pays attention to how symptoms like poor sleep, low self-esteem or grief affect daily life. People who want clearer boundaries, help with parenting stresses, or ways to manage anger and workplace frustration may find this practical emphasis useful.
She offers counselling and coaching for a range of issues including LGBT concerns, bipolar mood management, caregiver stress, chronic illness, attachment and abandonment worries. Sessions are provided in English and Sharon accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Sharon's approaches work online
Sharon draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy as core parts of her practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can find their own solutions; it suits people who need space to speak about how anger shows up in relationships. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and offers concrete strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns, which can help with workplace frustration and losing temper.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means setting practical aims together and adjusting the mix of listening, reflective work and skills-based practice over time.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and offer shorter check-ins when needed. For example, some people prefer brief practical sessions during a lunch break, while others choose longer, reflective sessions at the weekend. Registered or accredited professionals can support therapeutic change in an online setting when approaches and scheduling match the person's needs.
