Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Approach

She works with a broad range of areas, including: Gender, Sex, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD), Neurodiversity and Intellectual Disability, Compulsive Sexual Behaviour (CSB), Kink, Fetish, and Paraphilia, Cultural and Disability Diversity, Anxiety and Depression and Creative approaches to Trauma therapy. Sharon tailors her work to the specific concerns her clients bring to therapy. She helps individuals/ intimate partners of all sexualities, recognise their own strengths and resources. Sharon acknowledges that each client brings unique personal experiences to therapy. She supports them in developing these strengths to improve communication, understanding, and connection within their relationships. In relationship therapy, Sharon focuses on issues such as infidelity (both physical and emotional), challenges in blended families, communication breakdowns, trust issues, and navigating different stages of relationships where partners may feel stuck. Sharon draws from several therapeutic theories and resources, including the Gottman Method, the Developmental Model, and communication tools, to guide clients forward in the best possible way for their unique situation. Sharon also has specialised experience in Raising Understanding and Awareness (RUA) —a model that supports identity, friendship, relationships, and sexuality in children and adults with intellectual disabilities. This approach uses a bio-psycho-social understanding of sexuality and integrates a Human Rights-Based Approach, along with the PLISSIT and High 5 Alive Models, to ensure a person-centred experience.
