About Sharon

Sharon Horwood is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem, anger, motivation and confidence. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and life changes and has experience working with clients around parenting and career questions.

Sharon speaks from lived experience, including recovery after a life-changing brain injury that affected her and her family. She uses that perspective to relate to practical challenges and to help people consider realistic next steps. Sharon treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.

Her approach is client-centred. Sessions aim to be led by the client’s concerns and pace, with the counsellor offering reflective listening and practical discussion. Sharon mentions using video calls for sessions and messaging for assessments and arranging appointments.

She will work with people who want help with emotional regulation, relationship patterns, self-worth and coping with change. This includes support around mood difficulties, panic and social anxiety, and issues such as guilt, shame or infidelity. Sharon also notes experience supporting people living with chronic pain, illness or traumatic brain injury.

People can expect conversational sessions that focus on clear goals and steps forward. Sharon highlights flexible scheduling and an invitation to take the first step by completing an assessment and booking an initial video session.

How Client-Centred practice adapts to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on the person’s perspective and on being listened to. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what the person says, checks understanding and follows the person’s pace. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, self-esteem, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

Sharon also draws on her lived experience to inform practical conversations about recovery and adjustment after significant health events. That lived experience can help shape practical goals and realistic steps during sessions, especially for people dealing with chronic illness or traumatic brain injury.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with each client to identify which ways of working feel most useful. She discusses options and adjusts her approach to match the person’s goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

The biography specifies that Sharon uses video calls for sessions and uses messaging only for assessments and arranging appointments. If you need other session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a weekday or work break, reduce travel time and allow for a focused conversation from a chosen location.
