Hi, I’m Sharon
As a trauma informed therapist specialising in trauma removal I focus first on what is hindering you most in your daily life.
I know delving in to the past or trying to identify what is causing your emotional pain in the present can be painful, so to elevate the pain as much as possible I use psychosensory techniques such as Havening to eliminate the emotional connections.
This can often be done in the first session leaving you to talk calmly as you sift and sort through your thoughts and feeling without being emotionally hijacked!
I became qualified in 2003 in Person Centred Counselling at the same time as studying for my degree and beginning my journey as a foster carer which lasted 18 years.
In 2006 I went on to explore and qualify in many areas in psychotherapy including CBT, Grief and Bereavement counselling and Child/Adolescent & Family counselling to mention a few.
I then expanded into psycho-sensory therapies including EMDR, Havening Techniques, Hypnotherapy, Rewind Technique and Autogenic Training.
I gained further qualifications in NLP, mindfulness and life coaching.
I am committed to furthering my personal and professional development and have gained 30 plus certificates and diplomas since I began my journey.
My aim has always been to find the least intrusive and most effective therapy available. And I finally did!
Whilst it’s true One Size Does Not Fit All! There is a therapy that can and does remove the encoded trauma response that hijacks you whenever you are triggered.
This therapy allows you to talk about the traumatic events without being emotionally hijacked and leaves you in a state of relaxed and peaceful calmness.
The requirement to relive the pain whilst learning to understand the why is simply no longer there!
Unlike all the other therapies in my tool box; Havening Techniques ( Formally known as Amygdala Depotentiation) permanently through neurobiological processing detraumatises the memory of the negative impact in both the mind and the body.
This amazing therapy can be used in everything from anxiety to PTSD.
It’s painless and incredibly relaxing.
I became one of the very few fully qualified practitioners in the UK and have successfully helped clients with CPTSD, PTSD, Phobias, Anxiety and myriad other difficulties live a full and happy life often after just one session!
I have worked with police officers, Social workers, children as young as 6 and people well in to their eighties helping them overcome the fears of agoraphobia, low self-esteem, sexual abuse, physical and emotional violence and bullying to name but a few of life’s debilitating hinderances.
The number one takeaway from everything I have learned working with my clients and on myself? Our relationship with ourselves is the most important relationship we will ever have if we want to thrive, yet it is the relationship we neglect the most in favour of serving others.
Why do we do this? Simply put our brains interpret rejection as a threat of death. We are born with a survival instinct to avoid death at all costs so we do everything we can to remain in favour at the massive cost of ignoring our own needs.
This does not need to be your way of life any longer no matter the route to happiness you choose. It may be CBT it may be Havening. It may be a combination of the many therapies I offer. Whatever your choice I am available in person and online to help you shift from surviving to thriving and live the life you deserve; Calmly, peacefully and happily.
