I’m Sharon, a BACP registered and NCPS accredited Integrative Counsellor and Parts Work Practitioner based in Central Bristol. I have specialist training and experience in supporting people living with chronic anxiety, depression, complex trauma, chronic health conditions, and the impact of difficult life experiences.

My journey into counselling grew from a deep curiosity about how our early life experiences shape us—especially when those experiences leave us feeling unseen, unheard, or emotionally alone. I’m drawn to exploring what lies beneath the surface of our everyday lives: the hidden stories we carry about ourselves and the world, the parts of us we may have had to suppress to belong, and the resilience that helps us keep going even when things feel overwhelming.

My Integrative approach brings together humanistic therapy, psychodynamic thinking, somatic trauma work, Polyvagal-informed practice, and Parts Work (inspired by IFS, the Psychology of Selves model with Voice Dialogue, and Structural Dissociation). I am especially passionate about supporting people recovering from developmental trauma, childhood emotional neglect, and narcissistic family dynamics, and how these can show up later in life as complex grief, chronic illness, or addictive behaviours.

As someone who is neurodivergent, I bring both lived experience and specialised training to my work with diverse neurological profiles. I am also LGBTQ+ affirming and committed to honouring and respecting each person’s unique identity (she/her).

Alongside my private practice, I provide counselling for Pegasus Men’s Wellbeing Charity, where I also work within their Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence services. In addition, I support patients after in-patient care through the Steps Together Rehabilitation scheme and offer affiliate counselling with a Bereavement Charity.

Outside of my professional life, I find joy in nature, creative expression through painting and collage, and somatic practices such as Polyvagal-informed yoga to support nervous system regulation. I also enjoy sharing cinema and theatre with friends and family.
