NeuroExistential Therapy
A research-informed, existential approach to therapy
I'm Dr Sharon Zmigrod, a cognitive neuroscientist, life coach, and PSYCH-K® facilitator. I offer an integrative, reflective approach for those seeking to understand unconscious limiting patterns, navigate change, and live with greater clarity, agency, and well-being.
I draw on neuroscience, philosophy, and mind-body techniques to move beyond symptom-focused treatment towards a holistic framework for healing from within. I provide a thoughtful space to explore the patterns, questions, and transitions that shape a richer life.

NeuroExistential therapy is a complementary, reflective practice. It does not diagnose, treat or replace medical, psychiatric or psychological care. If you are experiencing physical or mental health symptoms, please continue to seek advice and care from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
How I work
NeuroExistential therapy uses the PSYCH-K® process to work with subconscious beliefs and patterns. These patterns often form early in life, without our conscious choice, and can quietly shape how we relate to ourselves, our health, and what we believe is possible.
Together, we identify patterns that may be holding you back and use PSYCH-K® to help shift them, creating space for new, more resourceful beliefs to take hold. This complementary, reflective practice works alongside, rather than in place of, medical or mental health care.
The work is collaborative. We begin with what matters most to you, clarify the patterns you would like to understand or change, and move at a pace that feels safe and appropriate.
I lived with an autoimmune disease and a food intolerance for more than forty years before the same approaches and techniques I now use with clients improved my health, enabling me to live medication-free, pain-free, and without exhaustion or food restrictions, and giving me back time for what truly matters.

Client reflections
Beyond symptom reduction
Some of life's biggest questions sit at the heart of our wellbeing, often without us realising it. They're about freedom, time, responsibility, relationships, and finding a life that truly feels like your own. My thinking draws on existentialist writers like Kierkegaard, Sartre, de Beauvoir, and Camus, along with ideas from humanistic psychology.
I'm also influenced by two continental philosophers, Arthur Schopenhauer and Henri Bergson. Both pushed back against cold, mechanical views of science and rigid systems of thought, choosing instead to focus on inner experience, feeling, and intuition. My work makes space for these deeper questions alongside practical, everyday change
