🩺ABOUT DR. SHARRYN & CARAMOCARE
Welcome!
I’m Dr. Sharryn — a Consultant in Children's Emergency Medicine, a trauma therapist, and the founder of Caramocare.
I spent 30 years in children’s emergency medicine, saving lives and supporting families through the worst days of their lives. But behind the protocols and pressure, I saw something deeper: healthcare can heal, but it can also harm.
The trauma it leaves behind often goes unseen, unspoken, and (worse) untreated.
Caramocare was created to change that.
We deliver fast, medically-informed trauma therapy that clears the emotional fallout of poor health or healthcare (or both)— whether you’re a patient, a clinician, or a high-performer stuck in burnout or imposter syndrome.
⚡ The Best of Both Worlds:
Clinical & Compassionate
We bring the best of medicine and therapy together. Care is not genuinely holistic if we don't integrate these seamlessly.
I’m one of those rare few who’s straddled both sides of the scalpel (sounds painful!):
-
As a senior NHS doctor
-
And as a qualified, advanced trauma therapist specialising in BLAST® — a cutting-edge technique that works faster and more gently than traditional EMDR.
-
Our clients range from HNW executives to parents recovering from NICU trauma — from clinicians on the edge to kids with diagnostic overwhelm.
Many see lasting change in just a single session.

2 core methods
And they're polar opposites of each other!
Solution-Focused Therapy
No digging. No drama. Just change.
Solution-Focused Therapy flips the script — instead of unpacking everything that’s wrong, we sifdeline that briefly. We laser in on what already works, what’s possible, and how to get you there fast. It’s powerful for people who are high-functioning but stuck, burnt out, or lost in the fog. You’ll leave each session with clarity, a plan, and energy to move forward.
It’s therapy with momentum — and it starts from session one.
BLAST® Therapy
BLAST® is trauma therapy reimagined — fast, gentle, and shockingly effective.
It’s like EMDR with a Formula 1 engine: designed to reach the unconscious brain and rewire trauma in minutes, not months. Whether you’re frozen by a single incident or years of healthcare fallout, BLAST® gets results without rehashing the pain. Clients often feel the shift instantly — clear, calm, and finally back in control.
Healing the world, one trauma at a time.

professional background
Education
MB ChB (commendation) (Core Medical Degree) Glasgow
BSc (Psychology & Statistics) Glasgow
MRCP(Paed) Edinburgh
FRCPCH (London)
MPhil (Medical Law) Glasgow
After a diversion into Psychology & Statistics midway through med school, I excelled at medical school finals & rapidly found my vibe & niche in Paediatrics (specifically Emergency Medicine).
Medical Law has been surprisingly useful over the years, as I was publishing my dissertation on whether consent for young people actually meant anything when a 'no' was unacceptable.
Certifications
Certificate in Solution Focused Therapy (BRIEF.org.uk)
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy)
BLAST® Technique
Advanced BLAST® Technique
BLAST® Trainer (one of 4 globally)
Advanced BLAST® Trainer
When I figured medics could learn & deliver therapy without starting a whole new career, I waded straight in, got stuck in & embraced what worked.
Not what was pretty or trendy, only what worked & what I could seamlessly integrate.
The result was the birth of CaramoCare - the Coco Chanel of medicine & therapy combined.
Certificates are nice & all....they don't mean you can 'do it' though. IO chose 2 therapies that made logivca; sense & that I could use out of the starting blocks.
Experience
30 years Children's Emergency Medicine
(20 years Consultant)
15 years Solution-Focused Therapy
5 years BLAST® Therapy
First cohotTrainer
With over 10 years of experience in the field of therapy, I have worked with diverse populations facing various challenges. My extensive practice enables me to offer tailored interventions and holistic support to individuals seeking mental health and emotional well-being.
Approach
Therapeutic Style & Ethos
Our therapeutic approach is one of openness & generosity.
Taking rapid therapy tools into healthcare, & (equally) healthcare into therapy.
Therapy should be easy, accessible, affordable & there for everyone, everywhere.
To be truly holistic, we need to see our physical health, our psyche and even our identity as part of one whole and that treating any of these will positively impact the others.
Let's blur those boundaries, make therapy in healthcare seamless, & make it the norm, not the exception.
By doing that, the shame of accessing therapy will melt away.
Areas of Expertise
Health Trauma
Health Anxiety
Gaslit Conditions
Significant Chronic Illness
Imposter Syndrome &
Executive Coaching
While my training covers all forms of trauma (& 'stuff') we all go through, my special expertise is in how trauma relates to healthcare.
I've led those resuscitations, dealt with families' distress in complaints, & listened to desperate families who think you are their last hope.
I've seen the joy of a newborn baby, getting the right diagnosis or the treatment that finally works.

Continuous Development
Looking to the Future
Building BLAST® Evidence Base
The last year to 18 months have been focused on becoming a BLAST® Trainer & Advanced BLAST® Trainer, CaramoCare is not standing still!
We are partnering with the University of Liverpool, PhDs in Georgia & the US VA to refine evidence of BLAST®.
We are also focused on somatic work, exercises & stretches to amplify the therapy work. Holistic has to mean the whole!
Further learning opportunities are always out there. We are not interested in 'shiny new object syndrome' & will evaluate any new learning carefully before signing up.
