Sharon Rooke

Would you like to talk through your issues, without waiting 6 months?  Would you like an appointment within 1 month of contacting me?  Be able to talk with a qualified, professional who is warm, caring, understanding and helps people to be the best they can be?

Are you feeling stressed, anxious or depressed?  Have you experienced a traumatic event, or are suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, PTSD?  Are you a trauma survivor that is struggling with life events?  Is lockdown creating excess worry about your job, your family, your health or relationship? Are you feeling so stuck that you don't know which way to turn? I offer a confidential and safe space to help you to find a way to process what's happened and what's happening now.

Have you felt that you've had to keep going, being strong, not letting anyone in, down, or know - hoping that something will change. By the time you've made contact, I know you've already tried everything and it's time to try another something different. We can all get stuck in our lives, I really get that.  So I work at the pace that's right for you.

In a non-judgmental space you are able to talk freely and openly about any challenges or issues; distress or dissatisfaction; problems or pain. For some, just being able to talk about things or secrets that they’ve held inside is a tremendous relief in itself. Others gain from making connections and understanding how the past relates to now.  It is usual for people to say;
          "I don't know where to begin"
          "It just all too much and I don't know what to do"
          "I'm so anxious, I feel that I can't cope anymore"
          "My (insert bad habit) is way out of control"
          "I've never told anyone this before"
          "My partner thinks I should see you"
          "I don't know what to do"
          "I hate (something about myself/my life), I can't live like this"
          "I'm drinking/eating/shopping/gambling way too much"
          "I think I'm going to hurt someone, if something doesn't change"
          "I'm scared all the time, but I don't know what I'm scared about"

Your psychotherapy or counselling sessions can be short or long term. You can be assured of an open and honest approach to our work together. I am qualified to work with adults, families and couples. Groups and teams are also in safe and experienced hands.
