Sharon Fairclough

I offer availability on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9.30am to 6pm.

I am an BACP accredited integrative counsellor/psychotherapist with twenty six years of experience working with many different presenting issues with individuals and couples. The way in which I work is client led, keeping the client at the centre of the work. I bring psychotherapeutic skills into the work seamlessly to support the client's on their journey of discovery and change. 

Some of my professional training is reflected in the list below.

I have experience in working with many different client issues and specialise working with loss, bereavement, life threatening illness, life limiting illness and End of life. 

I have many years of working in the hospice sector, NHS, police, healthcare professionals and organisations as well as private practice. 

I offer both online and in person therapy. I work as an integrative therapist in a client centred way, meaning I will be led by the client and do not have an agenda.  I bring in several modalities of therapy to meet the clients' specific need.

Initially, I offer the client a thirty minute phone call at no charge.  This gives the client and I an opportunity to say hello and think together about what kind of support is needed. 

Often clients ask me during the enquiry if I speak in sessions.  The answer to that is yes, the therapy I offer is a conversation where I am able to respond to what the client is saying.  

The first session gives us both the time to be sure that we feel comfortable to work together. During this time we discuss how we will work together, i.e. days, times, length of session, limits of my confidentiality, and anything that might feel important to us both as this forms the foundation from which we work.
