Sharon | Counsellor

Counselling Macclesfield

Hello and welcome...my name is Sharon and if you're reading this then I imagine you are struggling with anxious thoughts or feelings that are affecting your daily life.

I have been a Counsellor for 15 years and have worked with all sorts of people trying to navigate fear and anxiety. I've also experienced anxiety myself at points through my life and understand all too well how worrying and hopeless it can feel.

Some of my childhood experiences have affected how "part of me" views the world and I've learned that this "part of me" looks at certain situations through a lens of worry and "I'm scared of this", feeling on high alert and expecting danger...sound familiar?

Anxiety can show up in so many different ways - I don't know what it's like for you but what many people feel when they're experiencing that 'tightness' and ever-present inner worry, is stuck and exhausted.

Your head might know it's 'irrational' but your body and nervous system has other ideas and desperately just wants to feel safe but doesn't know how...yet!

I work integratively which means we shape therapy around you, exploring how you feel (both now and in your past), employing elements from person centred therapy, CBT, polyvagal theory and compassion focused therapy to discover how your experiences and beliefs have influenced the way you feel and respond to the world.

Whatever is going on for you...you don't have to carry it alone. I am here to listen to you, support you and help you to unpack it all, at your pace and with compassion and curiosity.

Therapy with me won't feel 'clinical'. I'm a human being just like you and we build a connection, you will feel supported and safely held whilst we get to know why your nervous system is stuck in survival mode and what we might need to learn and change to help it settle and feel safe.
