About Sharon
Sharon Horwood is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who draws on both professional training and personal experience. She holds BACP accreditation and brings three years of work supporting people facing stress, anxiety and mood difficulties. Sharon writes plainly and meets people where they are, helping them take small, steady steps forward.
Sharon emphasises that the client is the expert in their own story. She looks for strengths people already have and uses those as a starting point.
Background and approach
That approach is useful when someone feels stuck by low self-esteem, panic or social anxiety. She often works with people dealing with relationship strain, anger, grief and major life changes. Sharon also supports those coping with chronic pain, long-term illness or the effects of a traumatic brain injury.
Her practice includes work on parenting concerns, career questions and finding life purpose. In sessions Sharon focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of her. Conversations can cover trauma and abuse, attachment difficulties, dissociation, self-harm and feelings of guilt or shame.
She also helps people who are managing mood disorders, seasonal mood shifts and panic attacks. Sharon offers video calls and phone sessions as her main live formats, and uses messaging to complete initial assessments and set up appointments. Her schedule is flexible and she aims to create a calm, straightforward space to talk through practical next steps.
How Sharon’s approach translates to online therapy
Sharon works from a client-centred framework that places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. This style means she listens carefully, reflects what she hears and follows the client’s lead to decide what matters most. It is well suited to stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and building self-esteem.Her lived experience with a life-changing brain injury informs how she supports people through significant change and long-term health challenges. That perspective can help when talking about chronic pain, illness or the emotional impact of trauma and bereavement.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and Sharon treats it as a joint decision. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and adapt the way she works to fit those factors. This collaborative planning helps set realistic next steps and tailor sessions to what the client finds most helpful.
Online formats include video calls and phone sessions for real-time conversations, plus live chat or text-based messaging for the assessment and scheduling. Video is useful for deeper therapeutic work, phone calls suit people who prefer not to be on camera, and messaging can be a quick way to check in or arrange appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and offer flexible ways to maintain regular contact.
