Sharon Facey, BACP

Sharon Facey is a counsellor and psychotherapist with membership of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and 12 years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and grief. Sessions address practical problems as well as emotional patterns that keep causing trouble in day-to-day life.

Sharon has considerable background supporting people affected by domestic and sexual violence, and those who experienced childhood sexual abuse. That experience informs her work with trauma and abuse and with people who have complex reactions to loss, abandonment and attachment difficulties. She also works with people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, or significant life changes.

Her approach is integrative and draws on client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas. That means sessions may include listening to personal stories, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, and looking at how past relationships shape current responses. Sharon also uses solution-focused and trauma-informed ideas when helpful.

People can expect a mix of conversational exploration and practical steps. Conversations pick up on immediate worries, patterns that repeat, and small experiments to try between sessions. The aim is to reduce the day-to-day strain from anger, anxiety or low mood and to increase better ways of coping.

Sharon supports people who are exploring career and life goals as well as those wanting coaching-style help alongside therapy. Sessions use straightforward language and focus on real-life changes rather than clinical jargon.
