My Approach to Helping

In working with individuals and couples, I aim to raise awareness, giving clients the power to make meaning of their lives and chart a better way forward in an integrative approach, using rational, emotional and survival brains. In dealing with marital conflict, personal trauma, stress, burnout and all types of medical issues, I combine mindbodyspirit and emotionalbody work to release cellular memories, neurophysiological blocks and trapped pain to free clients of limited beliefs and negative patterns. I prefer a positive, goal orientated look into the future rather than a problem based focus on the past. I specialise in stress and burnout and recommend self-care programmes. I design counselling around the client, utilising discussion, emotional release,energy and body realignment.

More Info About My Practice

I work individually, with couples and in groups, offering one on one counselling, marriage counselling and group counselling. I have completed my PhD, lecturing, supervising students and writing and delivering research papers and run a private counselling practice and am flexible in the hours of consultation, including mornings, evenings and weekends.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I specialise in rational, emotional and physical tension and trauma release because healing takes place on many levels. I have trained with some of the world's greatest healers - Dr Pat Cane, mind,body,spirit healing; Dr David Berceli, tension and trauma release exercises; Brandon Bays, emotional and cellular healing; Zeev Kolman, energetic healing; Ann Ross and Karl Dawson, emotional freedom techniques and matrix reimprinting. Whether clients suffer from anxiety, depression or difficult relationships, I offer a holistic and dynamic approach to life's positive possibilities.

How Psychotherapy Can Help

Counselling opens the door to self-discovery and empowers and heals.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I feel privileged and honoured to be selected by clients to facilitate them on their healing journey, and I am always humbled by their ability to become empowered and to heal themselves. Healing is simple, it is an effortless and exciting journey, but also takes courage and determination! This approach is reflected in my client testimonials: "The session took me beyond my sense of being and into an extraordinary place of limitless possibilities. It was gentle, tough, kind, real, wholesome and ultimately forgiving. A journey worth taking." Prof AB, Dr of Psychology.

"I have felt a great lift of ugly weight, believing I had to feel and deserved all this guilt and pain and hardship. I am most grateful for a greater understanding that I can have the courage and power to heal myself. I believe this will be ongoing, to stop criticising myself and to get my self worth back. Thank you, Sharon."
