Psychotherapy with Sharon Mann
My approach is grounded in authenticity, genuineness, and unconditional support, ensuring you feel seen and heard in a space free of judgment. Rather than focusing on diagnoses, I prioritise understanding what is happening inside of you as a result of what has happened to you, offering both compassion and empathy for your experiences.

My approach is uniquely tailored to each individual, recognising that no two people are alike. I understand that deep transformation and lasting healing come only from a top-down and bottom-up approach, empowering clients to overcome challenges and achieve genuine well-being in all aspects of life.
My embodied processing focus helps clients welcome and allow everything that transpires, fostering a deep connection between mind and body. This integrative method empowers individuals to navigate life's challenges with greater resilience and self-awareness.

Healing Through Mind-Body Connection
Embodied Processing is a therapeutic approach that focuses on helping you connect more deeply with your body to process emotions, trauma, and life experiences. By tuning into the physical sensations that arise within your body, we can begin to gently release stored tension and create more space for healing and growth. This approach recognizes that the body holds much of what we’ve experienced, and by working directly with these sensations, we can achieve deeper, more lasting healing.
As a Level 2 Certified Embodied Processing Practitioner, I guide you through this process with care and support, helping you build a stronger connection between your mind and body. In our sessions, you can expect to explore your inner world through a felt sense, allowing energy to move and transform in ways that talking alone cannot achieve. This method fosters resilience, clarity, and a grounded sense of well-being, helping you navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and self-compassion.
