I'm Sharon Nicholson - BACP Accredited Therapeutic Counsellor and Brainspotting Practitioner with over 20 years of clinical  experience. 

Trained in Brainspotting with Dr David Grand (founder) and Dr Mark Grixti, Head of Brainspotting UK. Complex Trauma Certification, Levels 1 & 2, (CCTP/CCTP-II) - Janina Fisher, PhD.

I work online with clients across the UK, including Virginia Water, Surrey, London, and the South East.

I specialise in betrayal trauma, in its many forms - not just infidelity - alongside narcissistic abuse and relational trauma. 

Many of those I work with have been carrying something for a long time. They are functioning - often well - but something essential has gone quiet. They second-guess themselves, feel anxious, on edge, or struggle to reconnect with who they are, whether the relationship is still ongoing, ended recently, or ended years ago.

This specialist work goes further than talking, and reaches the places that insight and understanding alone often haven't been able to touch.

I use Brainspotting, alongside parts-informed therapy, to work with the nervous system as well as the thinking mind - because lasting change doesn't always happen through insight alone.

🌿 "After having a number of unsuccessful attempts to find the right therapist for me, Sharon has been more than I had even allowed myself to hope for. She totally exceeded my hopes or any expectation I may have had."

— Client experience

I offer the following ways to work with me:

• A focused Betrayal Trauma Intensive - 3-hour sessions over 2 or 3 days consecutive days
• The steady rhythm of 90-minute individual sessions
  

🌿 "I have tried CBT, Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness, Compassionate Mind Training and have a whole library of books on the subject — but nothing has really worked long term until I discovered Brainspotting."

— Client experience

🌿 "Our sessions have been life transforming for me. I feel like I have fast-tracked out of many years living in a painful freeze state."

For full details of my work and investment, please visit www.sharon-nicholson.com

We begin with a free 20-minute call - no pressure, no commitment. Just a conversation about what you're carrying and whether this feels like the right kind of support.

Your first full session is a 90-minute initial consultation via Zoom - a genuine, in-depth conversation about where you are, what your nervous system needs, and what kind of support will serve you best. 

If we decide to work together, we will make a plan for either ongoing 90-minute sessions or a 2 or 3-day intensive.

Your enquiry is welcome.

Hi I'm Sharon

I specialise in betrayal trauma, in its many forms - not just infidelity - alongside narcissistic abuse and relational trauma. 

I'm a BACP Accredited Therapeutic Counsellor and Brainspotting Practitioner, with over 20 years of clinical experience.

Many of the people I work with have been carrying something for a long time. They are functioning - often well - but something essential has gone quiet. They second-guess themselves, feel on edge, or struggle to reconnect with who they are, whether the relationship is still ongoing, ended recently, or ended years ago.

This is specialist work. It goes further than talking, and reaches the places that insight and understanding alone often haven't been able to touch.

I use Brainspotting, alongside parts-informed therapy, to work with the nervous system as well as the thinking mind - because lasting change doesn't always happen through insight alone.

I offer the following ways to work with me:

Free Clarity Call (20-minutes)

This is a free-of-charge phone call that lasts approx 20 minutes. A space for us to talk about what you are experiencing, what you need and if sessions with me may be helpful for you. This call is purely informative, and not a therapeutic service.

There is no obligation to continue with sessions after this call.

Assessment/Intake Session (90-minutes)

Your first full session is a 90-minute comprehensive assessment and intake, where we look at your experiences, hopes and goals in more depth. We will make a plan about how to best move forwards if we decide to work together.

I work online with clients across Dorset, Hampshire, and the UK.

I specialise in betrayal trauma, in its many forms - not just infidelity - alongside narcissistic abuse and relational trauma. 

Many of the people I work with have been carrying something for a long time. They are functioning - often very well - but something essential has gone quiet.

The relationship may have been with a partner, parent, friend or other family member, It maybe still ongoing, ended recently, or ended many years ago.

This work goes further than talking, and reaches the places that insight and understanding alone often haven't been able to touch.

I use Brainspotting, alongside parts-informed therapy, to work with the nervous system as well as the thinking mind - because lasting change doesn't always happen through insight alone.

You don't need the right words to begin. You just need to recognise yourself here.
