Sharon Brimfield-Edwards

I am a fully qualified Person-centred counsellor who offers a safe, professional, friendly and confidential counselling service for adults who may struggle with a variety of distressing psychological experiences.

I work from a Person-centred perspective which is based upon the belief that it is the client who knows best what they may need to explore in order to promote their own healing. The counselling that I offer therefore is non-directive, meaning that I will only work at the client's own pace with what, for them, feels safe.

I help clients to explore both past and present day life experiences within a supportive and caring environment. This often provides the opportunity for them to become more aware of their thoughts and feelings, and the effects that these may be having upon their behaviour and mood. Understanding all this can sometimes then help people to make positive changes in their lives: Through an increased awareness of those experiences that influence our behaviour we are often able to think differently about our experiences ultimately placing us in a position to re-evaluate and make any appropriate changes.

I am able to work with clients on both a short-term (typically 6 - 18 weeks) and a long-term basis depending upon client need.
