About Me:

Sharon Pritchard MSc; PgDip; PgCert; BSc (Dual Hons.)

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, passing at Masters level, and the MSc in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy at The University of Chester. I trained with Dr Michael Paterson to Level 4 in EMDR in 2015 and am an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner.

I am a fully accredited member of the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy (BABCP). Since initially qualifying in 2003 I have worked within the private, public and charitable sectors, gaining experience working with generic anxiety and depressive disorders and with individual’s who have found temporary solutions to problems in alcohol and substance misuse, and within primary care health settings. I was previously awarded funding from the Strategic Health Authority to introduce a treatment programme addressing anxiety and weight loss. My aim is to work together with my clients to create a trusting therapeutic relationship that lays the foundations within which change can be facilitated. From my office base in Northwich, I work with all of the common mood and anxiety disorders and I specialise in working with trauma.
