Sharon Facey, BACP

Sharon Facey is an integrative therapist and coach based in the United Kingdom who offers both long and short term counselling and coaching sessions. She holds membership with BACP (a professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK) and brings 12 years of clinical experience to her practice, supporting people through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges.

Her background includes work as a VAWG practitioner supporting women and girls affected by domestic and sexual violence, those facing poor mental health, and survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA). Sharon combines several therapeutic traditions to create a tailored, compassionate approach - drawing on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic insight, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused practice alongside life coaching skills. Each modality is used as a practical tool to explore personal stories, relationships, goals, and obstacles.

Clients work with Sharon to clarify aims such as improving workplace performance, strengthening relationships, enhancing wellbeing at home, or overcoming barriers that have limited personal fulfilment. By attending to mind, body, spirit, and lived experience, she offers sensitive and creative support for people navigating emotional distress, life transitions, complex trauma, and the everyday difficulties that can compromise wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online support for trauma and transitions

Sharon commonly draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening without judgment and helping clients explore their own values and decisions - a useful approach for issues like self-esteem, relationships, and life direction. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical model that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors often involved in anxiety, depression, and stress. For those affected by past harm, trauma-focused therapy is employed to carefully address traumatic memories and symptoms in ways that aim to reduce their ongoing impact.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the work as progress unfolds so therapeutic choices remain client-led.

Online therapy with Sharon is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for clients to access licensed professionals and continue meaningful work even when in-person visits are difficult, supporting consistent progress from wherever the client is located.
