About Sharon

Sharon Brooks-Esprit is a BACP counsellor with a long history of supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression and trauma-related concerns. She presents as warm and approachable and offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk things through. Sharon aims to help clients spot moments of insight and find practical ways to move forward in their lives.

She uses a person-centred approach that places the client at the heart of the work.

Background and approach

That means sessions focus on what matters most to the person in the room, and Sharon offers empathic listening rather than telling people what to do. She also draws on techniques from other methods when they suit a person’s needs.

Sharon has around 15 years of professional experience across charity work, NHS mental health units, prisons, inpatient and community settings, and in further education with young people. She continues to work part-time in an educational setting and with NHS patients experiencing depression or anxiety. Her background gives her experience with a wide range of life challenges and losses.

Areas she commonly supports include family problems, parenting and fatherhood issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, codependency, bereavement and end-of-life matters, plus multicultural and discrimination-related stresses. Sharon also works with people coping with career changes, bipolar mood challenges, anger and self-esteem difficulties. She holds BACP accreditation and a master’s degree in person-centred counselling, along with certificates in related areas.

Sharon describes her style as open and sometimes light-hearted, aiming to boost confidence and personal growth while helping people manage difficult situations.

Ways of working Sharon names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Person-centred care and online options

Sharon works primarily from a client-centred perspective, which focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own solutions. This approach suits people dealing with anxiety, grief, trauma-related issues and relationship concerns because it centres on their experience and pace.

She also draws on techniques from other approaches when helpful. These tools can provide short-term ways to manage symptoms, support emotional regulation and offer practical steps between sessions. Sharon will suggest techniques only when they fit a person’s goals and preferences.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon discusses options with each person and helps decide what to try based on their needs, aims and comfort level. The plan can be reviewed and adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for conversational therapy and seeing non-verbal cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to arrange therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
