ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Sharon Bartlett, and I am a qualified psychotherapist and hypnotherapist. I set up Concept Therapies with a view to offer an integrative approach which means that my clinical treatment is in response to your individual needs.

As a therapist, I aim to provide a safe and non-judgemental environment for you to explore your emotions and experiences.

​

In 2017 I experienced depression for the first time in my life as a result of a traumatic recovery from an operation and the symptoms that followed. I never profess to understand someone else's depression, grief or trauma as my ordeal can't be measured by someone else's however, I can empathise because I've lived it. Depression and anxiety are the top mental health conditions and it’s important to find the right sources of help.

​

Equally, I’ve had other physical, mental and emotional turmoil which I feel has equipped me in helping clients who need support, guidance and additional tools to cope.

 

I also studied hypnotherapy as I discovered it was a great addition to counselling or as a standalone treatment. If nothing else, it enables you to go into a wonderful relaxing meditative state. You have the ability to change, and hypnotherapy gives you that control back, allowing you to explore memories, images, sensations and emotions that you can learn to manage. Additionally, I also offer reiki which is "universal life energy" where I channel energy, activating the natural healing processes of a client's body to restore physical and emotional wellbeing. 

​

Whilst I specialise particularly in depression, anxiety, menopause and life changes, PTSD, childhood sexual abuse, grief  and bereavement, I do help with other areas too (please see below).
