About Sharon
Sharon Horwood is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings three years of practice and lived experience to her work. She draws on her own recovery from a life-changing brain injury to relate to people facing big, unsettling changes. Sharon values clear, down-to-earth conversations and helps people take practical first steps when they feel stuck.
She focuses on everyday issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger and relationship difficulties.
How Sharon works
She also supports people dealing with grief, career decisions, parenting stresses and mood concerns including depression and panic. Her practice includes work around attachment issues, chronic illness and trauma-related difficulties. Sharon uses a client-centred approach that places the person’s perspective at the heart of each session.
That means she listens closely, follows the person’s pace and helps them build on their own strengths. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and respectful rather than directive. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions and text-based messaging for assessments and scheduling.
Sharon mentions a flexible schedule to accommodate different routines and commitments. She encourages people to be proud of themselves for seeking support and aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Her style is straightforward and supportive, with a focus on helping people find direction and regain confidence.

How client-centred therapy works online
Client-centred therapy centres the person in the conversation. The therapist listens without directing and helps the person name their priorities. This approach is useful for concerns like anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain and life transitions because it builds on the person’s own strengths and choices.Sharon also draws on personal experience of recovery from a serious brain injury to inform how she supports people facing big changes. That perspective can help when practical adjustments and emotional processing are both needed. Finding the right approach is part of the work together; she will talk through options and adapt the way they meet to suit each person’s goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face without travel, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or arranging sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, family or health commitments and help maintain continuity when schedules change.
