About Dr Sharon Pallant
Dr Pallant’s Clinic
In addition to facilitating workshops, Dr Pallant offers individual sessions using cognitive-behavioural and compassionate focused therapeutic approaches for adults struggling with mental ill-health, psychological or psychiatric difficulties and/or non-specific physical health complaints. Dr Pallant offers appointments either in person at her clinic, Pallant Health Services, or via Zoom. Dr Pallant accepts self-referrals as well as referrals from GPs, consultants and other specialists.
Both psychological interventions have proven to be effective in treating a wide range of psychological/psychiatric difficulties, and compassionate focused therapy (CFT), which has evolved from CBT, has proven to be highly effective in working with distressed individuals who are highly self-critical and full of shame, and who tend not to respond to traditional cognitive behavioural therapies.
In addition, Dr Pallant is continuously developing her knowledge and expertise in the area of inherited family trauma.
