Sharon Brooks-Esprit offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or major life changes. She helps with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, anger and issues around self-esteem and career. Sharon also works with people coping with trauma, abuse, bipolar disorder, codependency, divorce and multicultural or discrimination-related problems.

Sharon is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of experience. She has worked in a range of settings including charitable services, NHS mental health units, prisons and educational environments.

Background and approach

She continues to see NHS patients and works part time with young people in a further education setting. Her practice is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which means she aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and direction of therapy.

Sharon uses listening, reflection and gentle questioning to help people notice new perspectives and make changes that fit their lives. She combines person-centred work with skills drawn from other approaches when useful, tailoring techniques to a person’s needs. This may include practical strategies for coping, managing mood shifts, handling conflict, or navigating grief and bereavement.

Sharon describes her style as open and unfussy, with room for warmth and sometimes lightness. She aims to build people’s confidence and help them find realistic ways forward so they can manage present challenges and plan for the future.

How Sharon's Client-Centred Work Translates Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, warmth and giving the person space to find their own solutions. Online this means sessions concentrate on understanding the person’s experience, reflecting what’s said and helping them notice new options. It is useful for issues such as depression, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties.

Where helpful, Sharon may bring in practical techniques alongside person-centred work to support coping with mood changes, stress, anger or significant life transitions. This collaborative approach means she and the person decide together what methods suit their goals and preferences as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets visual cues guide the conversation, phone requires less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, live chat is useful for shorter focused check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between scheduled sessions. These options help people fit therapy around school, work or family commitments while keeping continuity of care.
