YOUR DUTY OF CARE
Independent, unrestricted counselling therapy for Emergency Service workers anywhere in the UK
Welcome! I’m Sharon, a counselling therapist with a difference…
I’m here to help you take back control of your life and restore your resilience.
You may have heard the phrase ‘you can’t pour from an empty cup’. You have such an important role in keeping our society safe, but what about YOU?
Work/life balance out of kilter? Finding more stress at every turn? Never catching up on sleep and rest? By using proven therapy techniques, I can help you get a life/work balance, find ways of coping with the unique stresses you face both at HOME and at work, and allow you to be back in the driving seat of YOUR life.
But why can I help you, more than any other therapist?
That’s because I have been there, I was medically retired from the Police after 12 years of service. I have walked in similar shoes to you… I get it.
I have felt overwhelmed with the pressure and dangers of the job.
I have been exhausted after a shift but when my head hits the pillow, I’m wide awake.
I’m visualising what I’ve seen and I’m reviewing, wondering if I could have done better.
I have felt trapped and stuck in the job and felt very demotivated and unsupported.
After having a life-changing injury, I have overcome adversity and retrained as a counsellor to offer you a bespoke and unique service.

1:1 Counselling in Lincoln and Online
I specialise in unrestricted counselling therapy for the emergency services, helping you to face those mental health challenges that sneak up on us throughout our busy lives.
I have a discreet office in Lincoln where I offer 1:1 counselling sessions and also provide this service online for any location in the UK.
I have helped many serving and retired blue light workers through therapy already and now, it’s your turn.
What do I mean by unrestricted therapy?
It means that you won’t be limited to just 6 – 8 sessions or whatever your occupational health team provide.
You decide when you want to start and when you want to stop.
With my lived experience as a serving police officer and as a counsellor, I can share your problems, what’s keeping you up at night and equip you to tackle life head-on, with no detriment to your career or occupational health record. You will feel back on top form and excited for your future.
I’m here for you.
Get in touch to arrange a no-obligation 20-minute Discovery Call to see if therapy is right for you.
“You have helped me more in one session than anyone else has ever helped me, ever. I am so pleased I found you and grateful for your help and support.” - MJ
“It is so good to talk to someone who’s got the knowledge and experience that only a select few can have.” - WJ
Meet Sharon Williams
As a fully qualified counsellor to an advanced diploma level (so far!) I am registered with the BACP and the ISPC.
I have a specialised interest in trauma and the effects this can have on our conscious and subconscious minds, even when we think we have moved on and boxed off that particular event.
Having been through my own lived experience of trauma, medical retirement after a serious injury and life-altering surgery, I bring a wealth of experience including living with chronic health conditions both inside and outside of ‘the job’.
I have overcome every obstacle in my way to get here today, so I can help support you in your therapy discovery.
