Sharon Brooks-Esprit
Practical, person-centred counselling for life changes
About Sharon
Sharon Brooks-Esprit is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of experience who aims to help people facing anxiety, depression, grief and other life stresses. She works in a warm, straightforward way and focuses on building confidence and practical coping steps. Parents worried about family conflict, intimacy issues, or managing major life changes will find clear, calm support.
Her practice draws on client-centred therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the centre of each session.
Background and approach
That means conversations are guided by the client’s needs and pace, not a fixed script. Sharon uses her listening and empathy to help people notice new ways forward and make small changes that feel manageable. She has a background in mental health settings across the United Kingdom, including charity work, NHS roles and counselling in an educational setting.
This experience informs how she supports people dealing with trauma, bereavement, parenting strains, anger and relationship challenges. Sharon also works with issues such as codependency, divorce and separation, fatherhood concerns, hospice and end-of-life matters, multicultural challenges, non-monogamous relationships and prejudice or discrimination. Her aim is to combine respect and practicality so people leave sessions with clearer next steps.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience through attentive listening and empathy. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s pace, asks open questions and reflects what she hears to help people notice new perspectives. This approach is helpful for issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns.Sharon adapts client-centred care for online formats so conversations remain personal and focused. The emphasis is on collaboration - deciding together what feels most useful, which techniques to try and what goals to set. She will work with the client to find the best fit based on their needs and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing reflections or quieter communication without being on camera. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and other commitments.
