Sharon McHugh
Cognitive behaviour counsellorAbout Me
Does it feel like there is too much going on inside your head? Too many thoughts and feelings and not knowing which way to turn. Do you feel the need to keep everyone else happy, and are afraid to say no to people because you fear the outcome, feeling they may not like you anymore, or fearing conflict. Maybe when you do manage to say no, you become eaten up by feelings of guilt?
There was a time in my past when I felt that guilt and frustration of feeling trapped, and not being able to say what I wanted, but with the help of counselling and the space it gave me to work on myself I was able to change.
By working together on these thoughts and feelings you can learn how to build healthier relationships, learn how to feel calmer and be ok being you. Together we can work towards a happier, healthier you.
Counselling Style
Our sessions will always be led by you, this will be your space to bring anything that you wish to the session. My aim is to best support you in any way I can which includes providing you with a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings, whilst offering an environment that is non judgemental, where you can talk openly and freely with no influences and no pressure.
During our sessions, I will ask you questions so we can explore what is going on for you, giving me the opportunity of understanding your life through your eyes.
My approach is open and empathetic, and is influenced by Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).
I have been fortunate enough to meet some amazing people on my counselling journey all of whom has taught me something in one way or another. I update my training constantly which includes not only in depth and updated training, but also training on new and different counselling techniques. This allows me to be my best for each individual client, regardless of the issues they are facing.Hello my name is Sharon and welcome to my profile.
