Counselling Care
“We are born into relationship, we are wounded in relationship, and we can be healed in relationship” Harville Hendrix
Sharon James
Dedicated Individual and Couple Therapist
As a result of her previous business experience Sharon learned that individual experience can affect how people feel, think and behave and that this can lead to other problems and upheaval in life.
She is frequently referred clients by many other therapists and Health Professionals.
People can present as capable and competent but may inwardly struggle in a variety of ways. This is why she decided to become an Individual Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Couple Therapist.
After being employed as a Therapist in a private psychiatric facility for several years Sharon moved into private practice.
Our Edge
Sharon is highly trained and dedicated to helping her clients improve their relationship. She believes that understanding how people try to protect themselves from feeling vulnerable or uncomfortable is key in helping them to achieve their goals both as individuals and couples.
As well as the specialized Training from the Couples Institute in San Francisco, USA Sharon also draws on her extensive training in the following modalities of therapy to assist her clients:
The Developmental Model of Couple Therapy.
This is based on Attachment theory, Neuroscience and the Stages of Development of a Relationship
ALL OF THESE THERAPIES ARE EVIDENCED BASED MODALITIES.
Sharon uses these models and frames them within an Existential philosophy.
I just wanted to thank you for being able to support us as we grappled with our problems.
We have been together for 15 years and very unhappy for the last two before we commenced Couple Therapy.
You have taught us how to understand our own history and how we can be automatically “triggered” and hurt each other.
We have learned to understand each other and stop fighting – instead we now have strategies to pause and have productive discussions that can bring us closer together.
I write this as I complete my therapy with you.
You have been a rock for me during some pretty dark times. Thank you for your sincerity and honesty.
I feel more able to own my history without letting it control the present or direct where I now go in life.
I now like myself and can be less critical of any mistakes that I may make.
Before I saw a counsellor I listed the qualities she needed to have: empathy/honesty/sincerity/integrity/being non judgmental. Sharon had these and more and I have made great progress since seeing her.
