Counselling is a form of talking therapy that provides a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges. 

A registered, qualified therapist is trained to listen with empathy and offer unconditional positive regard, creating a supportive environment where you can feel truly heard without judgement.


Sharon is a highly skilled MBACP Psychotherapist, British Psychology Graduate Member, and dedicated Mental Health Mentor with nearly 20 years of experience in both education and private practice.
Working intuitively, she helps clients explore their emotions and thought patterns, fostering self-awareness, healing, and personal growth. 

As an Integrative Psychotherapist, she draws from various therapeutic approaches to offer a holistic and transformative path to well-being. She provides a safe, nurturing space where clients can explore their experiences with authenticity, considering early influences, attachment patterns, and unconscious processes.

Walking, Talk Therapy

In addition to her comfortable office space, Sharon also offers walking psychotherapy for clients who love to be outdoors.


“Walking outdoors has shown to reduce negative emotions and enhance positive emotions (Berman et al., 2012; Thompson-Coon et al., 2011), whilst also providing a greater boost to self-esteem and mood than walking indoors (Barton et al., 2009; MIND, 2007).”


Sharon meets some clients at the beautiful Parque Ambiental de Vilamoura. 


The Vilamoura Nature Trail, located within the Vilamoura Environmental Park, is a  5km loop offering easy walking through diverse habitats like riverside vegetation, agricultural fields with traditional orchards (carob, almond, fig), and wetlands, with two bird observatories for spotting species like herons and marsh harriers. 

A perfect location for families and nature lovers seeking a tranquil escape with opportunities for birdwatching and connecting with local flora.....and your talking therapy session!
