Mrs Sharon Brockington

Counselor

“Experience and accredited counsellor. I specialise in working with addictions and self harming”

About Me

If you are navigating the complexities of addictions or self-harm, I offer a confidential and grounded space. As an experienced and accredited counsellor, I guide individuals to explore the roots of these challenges. Together, we can develop practical strategies to manage difficult feelings and foster healthier coping mechanisms. This approach helps clients find stability and move forward with renewed hope.

Approach

Sessions in Exeter are steady and collaborative, held in English and paced to suit what feels manageable. I blend focused exploration of triggers with short, doable experiments between sessions, tracking what eases urges and high‑risk moments. Therapy is hands-on and calm: we map patterns, rehearse alternative responses, and build small routines that reduce craving and self-harm impulses. People seeking clearer control over impulses and more stable coping often find this direct, practical way helpful.
