In these executive posts Sharon was appointed as the college Grievance Manager and counselled staff and students with personal and professional difficulties. She was also involved extensively in counselling probationary police officers and was executive secretary to the National Community and Race Relations Training Project. This latter post led to her selection as a facilitator on Diversity and Race Awareness courses for senior civil servants.

Following her appointment with the Civil Service Sharon became the Deputy Training and Development Manager for Surrey Police Operations Department.

Former Career:
The aim of counselling is to assist people to recognize and understand the emotional barriers and psychological problems caused by their reactions to events in their lives. It allows and supports people to explore themselves and their thinking and feelings around their difficulties in a holistic, dynamic and challenging process. When people present for help they give off clues about the help they need. They explain, in ways that might not be clear to them, patterns of behaviour which can give a great deal of insight to a qualified and experienced therapist, about just what is happening to them inside. This empathic process built on trust and confidentiality underpins and strengthens the hope that people can work to confront and change what is causing them concern and help them move forward. This is the counselling experience you will enter into when you choose to work with Crisec'’s therapeutic services.
