Welcome

When life’s unexpected events, thoughts and feelings become overwhelming, it’s easy to lose your footing and feel disoriented. If you’re navigating anxiety, depression, loss or relationship struggles, you might be experiencing a confusing mix of fear, anger, and vulnerability—all valid emotions. If you feel life is weighing you down, or maybe you feel your ‘cup is full’ , I offer a space where you can talk things through without judgment. We’ll work together, confidentially and with trust, to understand these feelings and their influence, helping you develop greater clarity, resilience, and personal autonomy as you move forward.

Sharon Nolan Qualified Counsellor

I offer Person-centred counselling psychotherapy with an integrative approach. With a Counselling Diploma Level 4 and over 20 years of experience, I’m an Accredited member of the BACP (Membership number 386354) and an accredited member of the National Counselling Society, committed to working within their ethical frameworks.

Throughout my career, much of my work has focused on anxiety, depression, sadness, and low mood. I also have extensive experience supporting clients through bereavement, trauma,  and loss issues, relationship difficulties, and struggles related to low self-esteem, self-worth, fear, and shame. I guide clients through life transitions and health problems, including cancer. A particular area of my expertise is working extensively with grief, bereavement, and all forms of loss, including pregnancy loss.

Currently, I work as a remote counsellor psychotherapist for a global health insurance company and manage my own private practice. I also previously served as an Adoption Counsellor for the General Register Office under Section 51 of the Adoption Act 1976. This role provided me with extensive knowledge, skills, and experience in working with adopted adults. For more information on adoption services, you can refer to: Adoption records – GOV.UK.
