About Sharon
Sharon Brooks-Esprit is a BACP counsellor who offers calm, practical help for people under stress. She focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, depression, grief and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, aimed at helping people find what works for them.
Sharon has 15 years of professional experience working across different settings in the United Kingdom. She maintains part-time work supporting people in an educational setting and continues to see NHS patients who have accessed local mental health services.
How Sharon works
This mix of roles keeps her clinical work grounded in real-life situations. Her practice is based on Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person’s own goals and pace at the centre of sessions. Sharon uses listening, reflection and gentle questioning to help people notice new perspectives and make practical changes.
She adapts techniques when needed to match each person’s concerns. Areas Sharon frequently addresses include stress, trauma and abuse, parenting worries, family problems, bereavement and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with codependency, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, hospice and end-of-life matters, and challenges linked to prejudice and discrimination.
Sharon aims to build confidence and encourage growth without telling people what to do. Her style is open and sometimes light-hearted, helping people feel comfortable while they work through difficult feelings. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in several formats.

Online support options
How Sharon's person-centred approach works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what the person says, helping them notice new perspectives and decide what changes feel right. This approach is helpful for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.Sharon treats finding the right approach as a shared task. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that fit. Together they test methods and adjust the plan as needed so the approach suits the person's needs and pace.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit counselling into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and build rapport. Phone sessions can be a good option when less bandwidth is available or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins and for people who find typing easier than talking. These options offer flexibility and help people keep continuity of care even when schedules or location change.
