About me
Hi, I’m Sharon.
With over 35 years of experience in Health and Social Care, including 12 years at Executive level, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people receive quality care while leading and coaching my team to thrive both personally and professionally.
I loved my work—it was deeply fulfilling to make a difference in people’s lives every day. But experiences like leading a social care organisation through the challenges of COVID was an experience like no other. The responsibility for so many lives was overwhelming at times, and, like many in the industry, I didn’t fully realise the toll it had taken until much later. We had no time to process what we were going through—we just kept going, caring for others and setting our own needs aside, grateful when it was finally over.
But the demands of such a busy and high-pressure career eventually took their toll.
Facing burnout and an unexpected redundancy gave me the space to reflect and recognise the lasting impact of those years. For me, it was also a turning point—a chance to find a new path where I could continue helping others in a way that felt sustainable and aligned with my values.
I discovered hypnotherapy and it changed my life.
So, whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by the demands of a busy, stressful life, struggling to cope after a difficult experience like covid or redundancy, or wondering if there’s more to life, I've been there and I’m here to guide you toward solutions that work for you.
I use solution focused approaches to help people tap into their own inner resources that they haven't been able to on their own.
I aim to help you make long term change to how you think, feel and respond to life.
I also have a special passion for supporting individuals who are facing a fear of surgery or medical procedures, helping them go from panic to prepared.
Whatever challenges you’re facing, you don’t have to go through them alone.
