About Sharon

Sharon Brooks-Esprit is a BACP accredited counsellor who brings a warm, client-centered approach to therapy. With extensive experience working in a range of settings including the NHS, charities, prisons, in-patient and community services, she combines practical knowledge with a calm, empathic style to support people through difficult periods. Sharon works part-time with young people in further education and continues to see NHS patients experiencing depression and anxiety via the NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) pathway.

Her practice is grounded in client-centered therapy - creating a non-judgemental, empathetic environment where clients lead the pace and direction of change. She is also EMDR qualified - trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a trauma-focused method used to reduce the distress associated with traumatic memories - and draws on other approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and compassion-focused methods when relevant. Sharon is currently training to be a counselling supervisor so she can support other qualified therapists and care professionals.

She holds a range of professional qualifications including a master’s degree in person-centred counselling and several certificates in related therapies and awareness training, and she is DBS cleared to work with adults and children. Sharon aims to strengthen confidence, encourage personal growth and help clients find practical ways forward, offering a relaxed and often gently upbeat atmosphere while working through grief, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma and life transitions.

Client-Centered and Trauma-Informed Online Care

Sharon Brooks-Esprit primarily practices client-centered therapy, a collaborative approach that prioritizes the client’s perspective and fosters a supportive, non-judgemental space where people can explore feelings and find their own solutions. This approach is useful for a wide range of issues including relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns and navigating life transitions.

She is also EMDR qualified, which offers targeted support for trauma and distressing memories by helping the brain process and reduce the emotional impact of those experiences. When appropriate, Sharon integrates practical techniques from cognitive behavioural methods and mindfulness to help manage anxiety, low mood and everyday coping skills.

Finding the right style of therapy is part of the work itself; Sharon collaborates with each client to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals and preferences. In online sessions she uses video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible and accessible, allowing clients to fit support around work, family and other commitments. These remote options help maintain continuity of care and make it easier for people to engage with therapy from the comfort of their own settings.
