About Sharon

Sharon Horwood is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who brings three years of professional experience and personal insight to her work. She holds BACP registration and uses those principles to guide a respectful, person-focused way of working. Sharon often meets people who are dealing with stress, low mood, anxiety or life changes and supports them to find clearer direction.

She commonly works by video call and uses messaging for assessments and arranging sessions.

Background and approach

Clients come with a wide range of concerns, from relationship strain and parenting stresses to grief, anger and career decisions. Sharon also supports people coping with trauma, chronic illness or brain injury based on her own lived experience. She aims to treat each person as the expert in their life while offering steady, practical support.

Her style is plain and direct. Sharon listens carefully, reflects what she hears and helps people spot strengths they already have. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small, achievable steps that can ease pressure.

Sessions are paced to suit each person’s needs and preferences. Sharon uses Client-Centred Therapy as her main approach, which means she focuses on understanding the person and building a trustworthy working relationship. She encourages people to set their own goals and to explore options at a gentle pace.

The aim is to help clients gain clearer choices and more confidence in moving forward. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Sharon’s flexible hours aim to fit around work and family life.

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.

Client-centred care and online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person rather than directing them. The therapist listens reflectively, shows acceptance and helps people explore what matters to them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship worries.

Sharon also draws on her own experience of brain injury when relevant, using that practical insight to inform conversations about recovery, adjustment and coping. This lived perspective can be useful for people facing chronic illness or sudden life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt the way of working as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process where you and the therapist decide together which methods suit your situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and messaging makes arranging sessions easier. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work and family commitments.
