Feedback from Sharon’s clients:
Bereavement Counselling
“Sharon is such a guidance and source of comfort as a counsellor and mentor, but she also caringly helps you to think in constructive ways in order to make positive steps forward. The sessions were at my pace, incredibly supportive and I would feel very hopeful and able to gain new perspectives on some difficult issues. I felt understood, cared for in and in safe environment every time, without judgement. I thoroughly recommend Sharon, my sessions with her have been life changing, gentle yet motivational experience.” MV
“I came to Sharon for bereavement counsellor after a very traumatic car accident which I was lucky enough to survive. However, I lost someone very close to me in it, which caused me deep distress and trauma. I was in shock for a while and found it very difficult to come to terms with.
Any apprehension and doubt I had prior to booking any sessions was immediately gone as soon as I began speaking to Sharon. She is kind, understanding and she has such a warmth that you feel you have known her all your life. She made me feel valued, listened to and understood. She also helped with my fear of driving as I hadn’t been in a car since the accident.
I feel ready to face the world, even though my life was changed so suddenly. Sharon has helped me to see, and truly believe, that I can be happy again. For that, I am forever grateful.
Thank you so much for everything”

Vortex Healing Session
“I experienced the beautiful vortex healing sessions with Sharon online. I had been feeling blocked and stuck in a low vibrational energy for a while and turned to Sharon for support. The sessions were calm and relaxing. I was able to get into a deep meditative state quickly and experience higher levels of consciousness about some issues in my life. Since the sessions, I've grown a new awareness of key areas of my life and feel ready to work on these with grace and love. Sharon provides a confidential, safe space and connects deeply to areas of concern so that you're left feeling supported and reassured. I would highly recommend these sessions.”

Counselling Sessions
“From the moment I heard your voice, I felt supported and understood, you gave me kindness and compassion and I looked forward to hearing from you. Our sessions together helped me recover from the trauma of betrayal. You gave me the confidence to move forward and helped me understand why it happened. You were always there for me if not in person at the end of a phone. Thank you so much, not only because you are a great counsellor with a deep understanding of how I felt but also because you are a wise loving person.” Jenny Way - Poet & Author

“I am not being dramatic when I say therapy saved my life… because therapy did save my life!
I always believed I was strong, invincible, that I could cope with anything, that I wasn’t someone who would ever struggle with their mental health… until it was a little too late. The road downwards didn’t take long, but the road out felt like a mountain to climb.
My sessions with Sharon provided me with my coach, my encourager, my supporter and my guide.
It has not been easy but Sharon’s gentle and friendly nature reassured me and encouraged me to overcome my challenges.
If I ever need help again, Sharon’s number is in my phone and I will not be afraid to call it !”
