About Sharon
Sharon Horwood is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on both professional and personal life experience, including recovery from a life changing brain injury, to relate to people facing big changes. Sharon aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and encouraging.
Sharon believes each person knows their own story and has strengths to build on. In sessions she offers steady listening and reflection rather than quick fixes. She encourages people to notice small changes and to use those as a foundation for moving forward.
Her work often focuses on stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, anger and motivation, and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, and difficulties linked to mood and panic. Additional areas of focus include chronic pain, illness and disability, attachment concerns, and challenges such as self-harm or dissociation.
Sharon is comfortable supporting people who are reconsidering life direction or seeking greater confidence at work or in parenting roles. She routinely helps those coping with the impact of traumatic brain injury and the ripple effects this can have for family and daily life.
Sessions are offered by video call, and messaging is used only for the initial assessment and to arrange meetings. Her scheduling is flexible to fit into busy lives and she encourages prospective clients to recognise the courage it takes to begin.
How client-centred work fits with online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and supporting the person's own choices. It aims to create a non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects back what they hear. This approach can help with anxiety, self-esteem, relationship worries and decisions about life direction.Sharon's lived experience of recovery from a brain injury also informs her approach, offering practical understanding when life changes affect daily routines and family dynamics. That background can be helpful for people coping with chronic illness, traumatic brain injury and grief, where stepping through small practical goals matters as much as talking about feelings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon works with each person to identify what feels helpful, adjusting the focus and pace to match goals and preferences. She encourages clients to discuss what they want from sessions and to check in about progress as therapy continues.
Session options should be confirmed before booking because the biography specifies only video call sessions and messaging for assessment and scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around busy days, reduce travel time and allow focused conversations from wherever you are. It also lets sessions be shorter or timed to suit a work break, and can make follow-up between meetings more straightforward when agreed.
