Sharon’s qualification in Counselling Psychology has provided her with a rich appreciation of the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the power of process in therapeutic work.

Sharon also has a special interest in the relationship between psychology and spirituality and how faith narratives can be used creatively in therapy. She draws on a wide range of modalities to augment the Person-Centered work that she does, including CBT, ACT, IPT and Schema Therapy.
