Sharon Twomey

I’m Sharon, a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor offering short and long term therapy across Brighton and Hove both in person and online. My work is trauma-informed and rooted in compassion, supporting adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, stress, and relational difficulties.

My approach is deeply empathic and nurturing, blending warmth with thoughtful challenge. I offer a confidential space where you can feel held with care as you reflect, engage with difficult emotions, and begin the journey toward meaningful and lasting change.

Having worked for over 15 years with complex children and adults in a variety of health settings, including the NHS and children's services, my approach is reflective and trauma-informed, with care for the complex emotions that may surface throughout the therapeutic process.

I work from the belief that many of our struggles stem from early experiences and relationships, and that healing and meaningful change occurs within a safe and trusting therapeutic connection. I therefore bring together psychodynamic insight with a relational approach, gently supporting clients as they explore the emotional and relational patterns that influence their lives. In our work together, we look closely at what might be holding you back from a fuller, more fulfilling life.

I support clients in reconnecting with their inner vitality and nurturing deeper, more joyful relationships. As this connection strengthens, many find themselves engaging with life in a fuller, more present way—able to receive love, connection, and experience with greater ease and authenticity. This shift often brings a renewed sense of possibility, emotional freedom, and a richer experience of being in the world.
