Sharon Facey offers a warm, person-centred approach to counselling and coaching. She draws on 12 years of practice and membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sharon aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters most to them.

Her work combines talking therapy and practical strategies. She uses Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic ideas, Solution-Focused methods and Trauma-Focused work as tools.

Background and approach

These approaches help with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and intimacy-related issues. Sharon has long experience supporting people affected by domestic and sexual violence and by childhood sexual abuse. She also helps with problems such as grief, sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue.

Additional concerns she supports include ADHD, chronic health challenges, codependency and communication problems. Sessions can focus on short-term goals or longer-term exploration. Sharon works in a collaborative way, helping people define what they want and testing small changes together.

She blends emotional exploration with practical steps so clients can see progress between sessions. Sharon works with individuals from different backgrounds across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled to suit the client.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Sharon commonly combines client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and trauma-focused approaches. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead so they feel understood and can uncover their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and builds practical skills to change routines and reduce anxiety or low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how past hurts affect day-to-day life and uses gradual, paced work to reduce distress and strengthen coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as progress is made. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to the person's needs rather than sticking to one fixed method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversations and visual connection, phone can be used when bandwidth is lower or for a focused check-in, chat works well for brief exchanges and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility for fitting therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping sessions consistent and goal-focused.
