Hi I'm Sharon, finding a therapist that is right for you and reaching out can feel daunting. I have been seeing clients for 16yrs in a variety of settings including the voluntary, public and private sectors. I currently work part time for the NHS,  Previous work history has included Telford Mind, Women's Aid and as a freelance counsellor using BSL for Sign Health. I also managed a team of 12 counsellors for Telford Mind for approx. two years prior to joining the NHS. My diploma primarily focused on three theoretical perspectives; Person Centred, CBT and TA.  I am committed to CPD and more recently have trained in DIT (dynamic interpersonal therapy), IPT (Interpersonal therapy), undertaken a diploma in trauma and I am currently training as a CBT therapist. I have attended a variety of short training courses/workshops including; Brief Solution Focus Therapy; Drama Therapy; Play Therapy; Working with Shame; Introduction to Gestalt. Whilst having a range of theoretical perspectives to draw upon I remain client centred at my core. Using other techniques dependent on the client and the issues that they present with. For the last 14 years I have also had a small private practice working as an integrative practitioner, with people with varying issues and mental health concerns. I look forward to hearing from you.
