About Sharon
Sharon Brooks-Esprit is a BACP counsellor with a calm, direct manner. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, grief or major life changes. Her approach aims to help clients find clearer ways forward without being told what to do.
Sharon uses a person-centred style that puts the client's experience at the heart of the session. She creates a non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful events, relationship hurts, family tensions or career stress.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to what matters most to the individual. She has around 15 years of experience working in mental health settings across the United Kingdom, including roles in charitable work, NHS mental health units and community services.
That background means she is familiar with a wide range of difficulties from depression and anxiety to bereavement, trauma and relationship or parenting concerns. Sharon is able to draw on adjunct techniques when useful, and she tailors methods to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
The focus is on building confidence, recognising patterns and identifying small, achievable steps to improve daily life. People who prefer a warm, straightforward counsellor may find her style helpful. She aims to make sessions relaxed and sometimes gently light-hearted while still addressing serious issues.
The goal is practical progress and greater emotional resilience.

Approaches Sharon lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also brings flexible techniques into sessions when helpful, using conversational tools to build insight and confidence. These simple, practical interventions can help with managing mood, coping with life changes and improving self-esteem.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Sharon invites clients to talk about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which ways of working to try. That collaborative process means the therapy can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls make it easier to read visual cues and build rapport, while phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, low-bandwidth connections or when writing helps someone organise their thoughts. These formats give practical flexibility for fitting therapy around work, family and everyday life.
