Tanja Sharpe

Have you ever felt like you just so desperately want to hit pause and reset on your life? That this life you are living just isn’t what you imagined for yourself. That was me not so long ago!

My experience and expertise is in supporting women and carers who have or are experiencing chronic stress, anxiety, burn out and the impacts of sexual violence, domestic violence and trauma. As a result of experiencing these in life my clients can also experience disordered eating, low moods, sleep struggles, low confidence, struggles with intimacy, trust, feeling safe, low motivation, low self-care priorities and many other struggles.

I initially trained as an Integrative Therapist and although this model offers some wonderful ways of supporting my clients I found that I was also drawn to integrating powerful coaching models and strategies into my work, particularly somatic therapies, NLP, mindfulness based coaching practices and wellbeing approaches. So over the years I have trained and qualified in new therapeutic models and have brought these together to offer Therapeutic Coaching which offers the depth of Therapeutic Counselling, complimented by the power of working in the now, focusing on developing skills and strengths and looking forward.

Professional Qualifications:

Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling (qualified to offer a range of therapeutic approaches)

Somatic Trauma Therapy Training – Babette Rothschild

Diploma in NLP Coaching

Diploma in Hypnotherapy

Certificate in Sexual Violence Support for Survivors

Creative Counselling Interventions Trained

Diploma in Executive Business Coaching

I have studied, designed and facilitated hundreds of hours of further CPD Training around topics like:

Creative Therapeutic Supervision, Mindfulness, Sleep Consultancy, Chronic Stress Management, Compassion Focused Therapies, Working with Children & Young people, OCD, Anxiety & Panic Disorder, Sexual Violence, Creative Therapies, Compassion Fatigue, Burn Out & Trauma

STEP 1: Book our first free 20 minute phone call to decide whether we are a good fit to work together

STEP 2: If we agree to work together, I will send you an online therapeutic agreement and assessment form for you to complete

STEP 3: We agree the first session time and date where we will explore your goals and create a plan together

I offer a flexible approach to booking our sessions and can often work around busy timetables as well as offering the opportunity to reschedule your sessions if more than 24 hours notice is given.

What are the costs?

Each session including our first session costs £55 (for age 24+) or £45 (for age 15-23). This is billed to you after each session so you can click and pay on receipt through PayPal. Please note, if you need to cancel a session within 24 hours of your booked appointment there is a £25 cancellation fee as I am unable to offer your session at short notice to someone else.

Where and how will we meet?

I facilitate therapy sessions online via Zoom video and this is easy to use and free for you! You can register for a free account here www.zoom.us. It is important that you feel safe to meet with me from your home for confidentiality reasons and we will explore this during our free call. If you would rather meet in person (in the Chester area) I can also offer walk and talk counselling out in the community. Our first 20 minute phone call is free.
