About Sharon

Sharon is passionate about helping couples move from disconnection and frustration toward deeper intimacy, understanding, and emotional closeness. She works with couples who are committed to their relationship yet feel stuck in painful patterns of communication, conflict, or emotional distance. Many of the clients who reach out to her feel disheartened—despite success in other areas of life, their relationship has become a source of loneliness, confusion, and hurt.

Often, couples arrive in Sharon’s practice feeling as though they’ve hit a wall. They may have tried therapy before and left feeling disappointed or unchanged. Despite their efforts, they continue to argue about the same issues, tiptoe around loaded topics, or shut down altogether to avoid conflict. Over time, this cycle leads to resentment, hurt, and a sense that their relationship is no longer a safe or satisfying space.

Sharon supports couples facing a wide range of challenges, including ongoing communication breakdowns, emotional disconnection, infidelity, intimacy and sexual difficulties, parenting conflicts, or high-stress periods of intense fighting. Some couples are navigating major life transitions, while others are on the verge of separation and unsure whether the relationship can be repaired. Regardless of where a couple is in their journey, Sharon provides a non-judgemental, focused, and clear approach to help them create the relationship they long for.

Sharon also has extensive experience in working with neurodivergent & neuro blended couples, including ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence within relationships. She understands how differences in processing, communication styles, sensory needs, and emotional expression can create unique challenges—and also rich opportunities for growth. Sharon supports both partners in building a shared language of understanding, reducing misinterpretations, and creating systems that work for both of them.

Sharon’s style is warm, engaged, and collaborative. She doesn’t simply sit back and listen—she works actively with each partner to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface and to guide them toward meaningful change. Her sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, improving emotional safety, and offering tools and direct insights that help couples break free from cycles of blame, silence, or escalation.

She believes that couples don’t need to stay stuck in a painful dynamic—and that with the right support, change is possible. Sharon’s goal is to help partners reconnect with themselves and with each other, creating a relationship that feels emotionally secure, intimate, and mutually supportive.

For couples who are feeling lost, distant, or discouraged, Sharon offers a grounded and hopeful path forward. She believes that everyone deserves to experience love that feels safe, respectful, and deeply connected.

More about Sharon

What is the most satisfying and fulfilling part of the work you do?

As a couples therapist, the most satisfying and fulfilling part of my work is witnessing the transformation that occurs within relationships. It’s incredibly rewarding to help couples navigate their challenges, deepen their connection, and rebuild trust. There’s a unique sense of fulfillment in creating a safe, supportive space where both individuals feel heard, understood, and validated. Watching couples grow together, rediscover their love, and strengthen their communication brings a sense of purpose and meaning to my work. Knowing that my guidance has contributed to the healing and growth of both individuals and their relationship is deeply gratifying.

What’s an example of a couple you have helped the most?

An example of a couple I’ve helped the most could be a pair struggling with communication issues, where they often found themselves in cycles of misunderstandings and arguments that left them feeling disconnected. When they first came to therapy, they were on the brink of separation, unsure of how to communicate their needs without conflict. Through focused work on active listening, empathy-building exercises, and developing healthy communication patterns, I was able to guide them in expressing their feelings in a way that didn’t trigger defensiveness. Over time, they began to feel heard and valued by each other, leading to a stronger, more resilient partnership. This couple’s journey stands out because they were committed to the process, and their transformation was a powerful example of how patience, understanding, and communication can revitalise even the most strained relationships.
