Sharon Ann Wilday

Professional Profile

With over 30 years of experience in mental health, I offer a compassionate, client-centered approach to therapy. As Director of Optimal Health UK – Wilday Consultancy Ltd, I'm dedicated to delivering evidence-based therapies tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I'm a highly skilled Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) specialist and EMDR therapist, with expertise in occupational health, emotional wellbeing, sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, persistent pain, and fatigue.

My holistic approach is rooted in my original training as an Occupational Therapist, allowing me to address both physical and psychological aspects of well-being. I played a pivotal role in the Functional Restoration Service at Worcestershire NHS, focusing on persistent pain management and rehabilitation.

I'm accredited with the BABCP, and a member of the HCPC, UKCP, and EMDR Association UK. I'm currently advancing my knowledge through post-graduate studies in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health at King’s College London, ensuring my practice remains at the forefront of mental health care. My warmth, expertise, and commitment make me an excellent choice for those seeking meaningful, effective support.

I abide by the professional and ethical standards laid down by the BABCP and I have full professional indemnity and current DBS clearance.
