Sharon Facey , BACP

Sharon Facey is an experienced therapist based in the United Kingdom who blends counselling and coaching to support clients through both short-term challenges and longer-term change. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, and brings 12 years of clinical experience to her practice.

Sharon has worked as a VAWG practitioner supporting women and girls affected by domestic and sexual violence and those who have experienced childhood sexual abuse (CSA). Her practice is integrative by design, drawing on Psychosocial methods, Psychodynamic insight, Cognitive Behavioural techniques, Person-Centred principles, transpersonal psychology and life coaching. These approaches are used as tools to create a compassionate therapeutic space where personal stories, aspirations and dilemmas can be explored.

Clients work with Sharon to clarify goals related to work, education, relationships or home life and to identify the barriers that have prevented progress toward those aims. Attending to mind, body, spirit and lived experience, she supports clients with sensitive and creative interventions designed to reduce emotional distress and strengthen coping. Sharon aims to foster connection, dialogue and practical change so clients can move toward greater wellbeing and fulfilment.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Sharon

Sharon works with approaches that are practical and relationship-focused. Client-Centred Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, non-directive relationship in which the client’s experience guides the pace of work; it supports issues such as self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life adjustments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress, offering structured strategies and practical exercises. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends specifically to the impact of traumatic events, helping clients process trauma responses and develop coping strategies to reclaim daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sharon collaborates with each client to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences. She combines elements from different models to create a tailored plan that reflects what the client brings to therapy.

Online therapy with Sharon is designed for flexibility and accessibility. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and options for live chat or text-based messaging are available when that format better fits a client’s life. These remote options make it easier to schedule appointments, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
