Hi, and welcome to my website. My name is Tim Sharp and I am the director of Dr. Timothy J. Sharp & Associates - an independent practice of highly qualified clinical psychologists. Within this site you can find more information about who we are and what we do. In short, I can tell you we are a group of caring professionals whose primary aim is to help you improve the quality of your life. Just like hundreds of others we have helped over the years, I am confident we can help you feel less depressed and less anxious, happier, and more in control of your life. But don't just take my word for it. Take a few moments to read Claire's comments. Claire participated in one of our individualised cognitive therapy programs and was so pleased with how much she gained that she offered these thoughts about her experience. "When I finally found Dr. Sharp I can honestly say I smiled a genuine smile for the first time in what could well have been years. The relief was palpable. My first session with Tim involved lots of tears…It wasn't easy. I began one of the cognitive therapy programs and attended weekly sessions. Tim gave me homework to complete and skills to practice. The change in me was immense and almost immediate. Finally there was someone who thought my fears were genuine and would listen to what I thought were my silly little ideas. After 4 weeks my husband pronounced it the best money we had ever spent. Over the course of 7 weeks I learned how to change my thinking. I learned how to stop the self-loathing and the catastrophising. As I began to feel better about myself, and as my confidence grew, I also found my need to drink diminished. Now, nearly 3 months after my last session with Tim I realise that I was really quite depressed but that I am now well on the road to recovery. It hasn't all been sunshine and flowers but I'm happy to say I now feel better about myself than ever before. I can strongly recommend Tim's practice and especially his cognitive therapy program."
