About Sharon
Sharon Horwood is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice and a BACP accreditation. She draws on personal experience of a life-changing traumatic brain injury and uses that perspective when supporting people. Sharon aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what feels hard right now.
Her approach starts from the belief that each person knows their own story. She focuses on listening carefully and following the client’s lead.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and straightforward, with attention to small, manageable steps. Sharon has worked with people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those coping with grief, relationship difficulties, anger and low self-esteem.
Career worries, parenthood struggles and life changes are part of her day-to-day work. Additional areas Sharon addresses include attachment issues, mood disorders, panic and social anxiety, dissociation, and impacts from chronic pain or traumatic brain injury. She also helps with feelings of guilt, shame, and challenges around infidelity or self-harm.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging for assessment and scheduling. Sharon aims to be flexible with timing to fit around work or family commitments and to help clients make steady progress at their own pace.

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
Sharon's lived experience of a traumatic brain injury informs her work and often shapes how she connects with people facing major life changes or chronic health impacts. Together the counsellor and client decide whether the client-centred approach is the right fit, and they adapt sessions as needs and goals evolve. Finding the best way to work is a collaborative step rather than a one-off decision.
Online sessions are offered by video call and phone, with live chat and text messaging used for assessment and arranging appointments. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from any location, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging offers a shorter check-in or a way to plan the next appointment. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study or caring responsibilities and help maintain continuity when life gets busy.
