About Sharon
Sharon Brooks-Esprit is a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and 15 years' experience. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can understand their feelings and work out what helps. Sharon often supports people coping with stress and anxiety and concerns around grief, depression and relationship difficulties.
Sharon draws on a person-centred approach in her work, offering empathy and active listening so each person feels heard.
Background and approach
She uses techniques from other approaches when helpful to the person’s needs, choosing practical tools rather than one fixed method. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each individual. Her background includes many years working in mental health settings and further education.
That experience informs how she responds to trauma, family problems, bereavement and life transitions. Sharon also brings a focus on issues such as codependency, parenting and work-related stress. In practice she aims to boost confidence and help people find clearer ways to move forward.
She prefers to guide rather than tell, encouraging small steps and realistic goals. Her manner is warm and straightforward, with an openness that can make difficult topics easier to talk about. Sharon works from the United Kingdom and carries out sessions in English.
She offers a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs and schedules.
How Sharon’s Approach Works Online
Sharon primarily uses a person-centred approach which focuses on empathic listening and putting the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. This helps people explore anxiety, grief and relationship concerns at their own pace while feeling understood.She also draws on brief, practical techniques from other approaches when helpful, offering simple tools to manage stress or low mood. These techniques are chosen collaboratively to support everyday coping, goal-setting and problem solving.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Sharon discusses the options with each person and adapts the way she works to match their needs, goals and preferences. That means the approach can shift as progress is made or as priorities change.
Online sessions offer flexibility and easier access to regular support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging can fit into busy days. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity and fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
