About me

Training

My name is Sharon Pritchard and I am a qualified counsellor and Cognitive Behaviour Therapist. I qualified at Keele University with a BSc (Dual Hons.) degree in Psychology and Criminology and subsequently studied for the Post-graduate Diploma in Counselling at University College, Chester. To continue my professional development I have completed the MSc. in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and am an EMDR Europe accredited Consultant for Eye-Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Accreditation & Experience

I am an accredited member with the British Association for Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy (BABCP). For 16 years I worked with the Psychology Department of Cheshire & Wirral Foundation NHS Trust. Prior to this, for seven years a large portion of my therapeutic experience was working within the NHS with individuals who have found temporary solutions to generic issues in substance misuse, both in the statutory and voluntary sectors, where I have worked together with my clients to create a trusting therapeutic relationship that lays the foundations within which change can be facilitated. I have also worked as a visiting lecturer at the University of Chester.
