Sharon Lenihan

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Since 2021, I have worked with a Sexual Survivors Trust as an integrative counsellor, supporting adults, young adults, and adolescents who have experienced sexual violence. I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and understood as you explore the challenges affecting your wellbeing.

My approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs combining elements from various counselling models such as as person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques, and in doing so, creating a way of working that fits you, rather than expecting you to fit a set method. We will work together at your pace, I aim to help you process difficult experiences, develop coping strategies, and rebuild a sense of hope, resilience, and self-trust.

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent many years working in safeguarding roles supporting individuals and families through some of the most challenging times in their lives. This experience inspired me to retrain so I could offer ongoing support beyond the immediate crisis.

Whether you are looking to make sense of past experiences, manage overwhelming feelings, or simply have a space where you feel truly listened to, I am here to walk alongside you with care, understanding, and respect.

She provides a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where people can feel heard and understood as they explore the difficulties affecting their wellbeing.

Her manner is warm and compassionate, and her work is tailored to each person’s needs. Sharon draws on elements from person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques, combining these approaches to create a way of working that fits the individual rather than asking them to fit a single method.

Before retraining as a counsellor, Sharon spent many years in safeguarding roles supporting individuals and families through some of the most challenging times in their lives. That experience motivated her to train in order to offer ongoing support beyond the immediate crisis.

Sharon has four years of experience and works with issues including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and depression. She offers therapy as a female counsellor and is based in the United Kingdom.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can genuinely help. For most common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

A major benefit is flexibility. People can connect in the way that suits them best: through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to choose a format that feels comfortable.

Therapists offering online work are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they would prefer a different fit. Online therapy can be a practical, effective option for many common mental health and wellbeing concerns.
