About me and my therapy practice

Hi I'm Sharon,

Taking that first step and undertaking any kind of therapy can be really daunting. It can be difficult to get a feel for whether someone is right for you without a conversation - but hopefully the following will help you decide if you want to have that conversation with me.

I am a trauma-informed therapist and have been seeing clients for 19yrs in a variety of settings. I currently work part time for the NHS and freelance for various companies/charities. Previous work history has included 10yrs as a therapist with Telford Mind, 3yrs with Women's Aid and 2yrs with Sign Health using BSL. I managed the counselling and psychotherapy service which had a team of 12 counsellors for Telford Mind for approx. two years prior to joining the NHS.

My initial training primarily focused on three theoretical perspectives; Person Centred, CBT and TA. I then undertook an advanced certificate in Mental Health and Deafness at The University of Birmingham. I am committed to CPD and more recently have trained in DIT (dynamic interpersonal therapy), completed a PG dip in trauma and neuroscience and have trained in IPT (Interpersonal Psychotherapy).

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. Having a range of theoretical perspectives to draw upon I tailor my approach to each client and the issues that they present with.

I am happy to see clients at my own practice in Kidderminster and online.

I look forward to hearing from you
