Sharon Facey , BACP

Sharon Facey is an integrative counsellor and coach with 12 years of experience, offering both short-term and long-term counselling and coaching sessions. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists - which reflects her commitment to professional standards and continuing development.

Sharon has substantial experience working as a VAWG practitioner, supporting women and girls affected by domestic and sexual violence, childhood sexual abuse, and related mental health difficulties. Her work brings practical support alongside compassionate listening, helping people move from distress toward clearer ways of living and relating.

Her approach is integrative, drawing on psychosocial perspectives, psychodynamic ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques, person-centered principles, transpersonal psychology, and life coaching. Each method is used as a tool to explore a client’s story, values, aspirations, and obstacles, creating a space for dialogue and connection. Clients may work on goals such as improving relationships, excelling at work or education, or finding greater satisfaction at home.

Sharon works creatively with mind, body, spirit, and life experience to support healing and change. She offers sensitive, practical guidance aimed at reducing emotional distress and helping clients reclaim wellbeing and direction.

Approaches That Inform Online Sessions

Sharon commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy when working online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client’s perspective guides the work - it is useful for self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and is often effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns that originate from past experiences and relationships, helping clients understand how those patterns influence current feelings and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sharon works collaboratively to determine which methods best match a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains focused and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to maintain regular contact despite busy lives or geographic distance. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals and therapists in a way that fits their routine and comfort, supporting continuity and progress in therapy.
