Sharon Robinson

My name is Sharon Robinson and I'm a qualified and BACP Accredited counsellor and Reiki Master.

---

I set up Balance Counselling Service in 2002 and then in 2008 changed the name to Balance Counselling and Reiki, to incorporate my Reiki work. My aim is to work with clients in a warm, respectful, confidential and professional manner; enabling them to explore their difficulties without being judged, critisised or told what to do.  Many clients report that counselling is a rare and sometimes first opportunity to do this.  The counsellor's role is to help facilitate change and resolution of issues. I am able to offer appointments both during the day and evenings at a range of times to suit individual clients' needs. I welcome queries from both prospective clients, professionals' and the corporate sector, either by telephone or by email.
