Darren Sharpe

Hi, I’m a dedicated counsellor who brings empathy, patience and clarity to my work. I have supported individuals through a wide range of challenges, and my approach is always client-centred, respectful and grounded in each person’s unique journey. I became a counsellor because I wanted to make a real difference — to help people feel heard, understood and empowered to take meaningful steps toward change.

In my practice, I value honesty, openness and connection. I encourage you to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace, without pressure or judgement. I know how much courage it takes to seek support, and I work hard to create a safe, calm and supportive space where you can talk freely. Clients often describe my approach as approachable and steady, which helps build the trust needed for deeper exploration and personal growth.

Alongside my therapeutic work, I’m committed to ongoing learning and professional development. I regularly take part in supervision, reflection and training because I believe that good counselling is rooted in continuous growth. I also enjoy supporting colleagues, sharing insights and offering encouragement to others in the field.

Outside of work, I value balance, connection and wellbeing. Whether I’m spending time with family, focusing on personal interests or taking moments for reflection, I try to practise the same grounding and self-care that I encourage in my clients. This holistic outlook enriches my work and helps me bring a steady, compassionate presence to those I support.
