- • have lived in the UK for 20 years and Sharon is by far the most amazing • have lived in the UK for 20 years and Sharon is by far the most amazing person I haver ever met in this country. She genuinely cares and she is so supportive and helpful and intuitive of the various different needs of each individual. She always makes sure everyone is as involved as they like, as it differs how involved each individual wishes to be. I am eternally grateful that Sharon reached out to me after a session, because she wanted to check in on me and she acted immediately to a legal problem I had and helped me get the right help and support that I needed, and this could result in positive life changing circumstances for me and my baby. There are no words that can describe my gratitude to her. What I also really loved, was that we often touched upon very upsetting, scary and heavy topics, but somehow her genuine nature and caring personality made it light-hearted and we could also have a laugh, despite the heavy topics we discussed and that all comes down to her realness and genuine desire to help all of us, she is encouraging and motivating and calming when you need her to be. I am so sad that I won ' t get to see her every week going forward, she has become a very important part of my journey and I definitely intend to stay in touch - Thank you for everything '.
- • am very pleased that this programme was recommended to me, even • am very pleased that this programme was recommended to me, even though most of the subjects learned were not very related to my personal experience. But it has definitely helped me to view and understand abusive behaviour. I highly recommend this course to any woman who has come across with any manipulation or abusive behaviour. I wish that this course is roled out to all secondary schools in England. Sharon has been absolutely amazing in sharing her knowledge and expertise. But overall the caring and compromise to ensure every participant has understood the abusive behaviour'.
