Sharon Brooks-Esprit , BACP

Sharon Brooks-Esprit is a BACP-accredited counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of clinical experience. Her practice emphasises a person-centred approach that places the client at the heart of the therapeutic process, offering an empathic, non-judgemental space where individuals can explore emotions and make meaningful changes. Sharon blends warmth and straightforward support to help clients identify insights and practical ways to move forward without prescribing solutions.

She brings focused experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, family and parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Sharon also works with people managing bipolar symptoms and career-related stress, and she attends to additional areas such as codependency, divorce and separation, multicultural concerns, and end-of-life and hospice matters. Her background includes work with a range of settings, and she draws on trained skills to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Sharon is trained in Client-Centered Therapy and integrates techniques from other approaches when helpful, aiming to strengthen each person’s confidence while encouraging personal growth. She is currently furthering her supervisory training to support other qualified practitioners. Known for a relaxed, occasionally lively style, Sharon brings genuine curiosity and respect for people of all ages and backgrounds as she supports them to live their best possible lives.

Client-Centered Care and Online Therapy Options

Sharon works primarily from a Client-Centered Therapy perspective, which focuses on creating a respectful, empathic atmosphere where the client’s own understanding and goals guide the work. This approach helps with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and the emotional impact of life changes by encouraging self-exploration and personal insight.

She also draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and from Mindfulness-based methods to support emotional regulation and present-moment coping. These practical tools may be introduced alongside person-centred listening to tailor support to each individual’s needs.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic journey and Sharon treats this as a collaborative process. She works with clients to select methods that match their goals, preferences and the challenges they bring, adjusting as progress is made.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging - provide flexible ways to access licensed professionals and therapists. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, and they increase accessibility for people who cannot attend in person, while still allowing for meaningful, effective therapeutic work.
