Sharon Facey , BACP

Sharon Facey is an experienced therapist and coach based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional practice and membership of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She offers both long and short term counselling and coaching sessions that draw on an integrative set of trainings to meet a range of presenting concerns.

Her work has included supporting women and girls affected by domestic and sexual violence and childhood sexual abuse, and she brings that experience to clients coping with complex trauma and related mental health difficulties. Sharon combines psychosocial and psychodynamic understanding with cognitive behavioural techniques, person-centered methods, transpersonal perspectives and life coaching skills so that therapy can be tailored to each person’s needs.

Sharon frames therapy as a collaborative exploration of hearts, stories, dreams and dilemmas, using dialogue and compassion to foster connection. Clients may pursue goals such as improved workplace performance, educational progress, stronger relationships or greater fulfilment at home by identifying and working through the barriers that have impeded their aspirations.

Attending to mind, body, spirit and life experience, Sharon offers sensitive and creative support for personal narratives and emotional expression, aiming to facilitate change where emotional distress has affected wellbeing.

Integrative approaches and accessible online support

Sharon uses client-centered therapy to create a compassionate, non-directive space where individuals can explore their feelings and priorities. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration and can help with issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions.

She also incorporates cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a practical model that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress management and developing coping skills.

Trauma-focused therapy is another element of her practice, designed to address the impacts of traumatic experiences and support recovery from abuse or violence. Techniques within this framework aim to reduce symptoms and restore a sense of safety and agency.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sharon works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they adapt the work as understanding deepens.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone meetings, live chat and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and location, making it easier for people to access consistent care without disrupting work, family or daily routines. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats effectively to support progress and maintain therapeutic continuity.
