About Sharon
Sharon Horwood is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anger, and motivation issues. Sharon also supports people coping with life changes, grief, and career questions, and she lists life purpose among her focus areas.
Sharon draws on her own lived experience of a traumatic brain injury and its impact on family life when she talks with people about recovery and adjustment. She treats that experience as one source of understanding rather than a blueprint for everyone. Her work is grounded in simple, direct conversation about what is happening now and what a person wants to try next.
In sessions she follows a client-centred approach. That means conversations centre on the person's priorities and pace. The therapist listens, reflects, and asks questions to help clarify choices and next steps rather than imposing a plan.
People who feel stuck after a change in work, a relationship breakdown, health issues, or parenting pressures may find this a practical place to start. Sharon also works with issues such as panic, mood difficulties, attachment concerns, chronic pain or illness, and questions around identity and purpose.
Sharon offers video calls for therapy and uses messaging only for the initial assessment and to arrange sessions. Her booking process uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How client-centred work translates to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on treating the person as the expert in their own experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and supports each person to name their priorities and next steps. This approach can help with motivation, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and deciding what matters after a big life change.Sharon also brings practical lived experience of a traumatic brain injury into conversations about recovery and adjustment. That perspective is used to inform discussion rather than to prescribe a path, and the therapist will work with the client to find which ways of working feel most useful. Choosing an approach is collaborative and can change as the client's needs and goals develop.
Sessions are currently offered by video call; messaging is used only for the assessment and to arrange sessions. Please confirm the exact session formats available when you book. Online sessions can make attendance easier when finding time around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time, while still letting a therapist use client-centred conversation to help clarify next steps.
