About Sharon
Sharon Horwood is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses alongside her personal life experience to inform her work. She presents as someone who values the client’s own knowledge of their life and encourages people to recognise their existing strengths.
Sharon often supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She helps with relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anger and motivation.
Background and approach
She also offers coaching around career choices and life direction when people want change. She has lived through a serious brain injury that affected her wider circle, and she draws on that experience when appropriate. Sharon names trauma, grief and issues stemming from chronic illness or injury among her areas of focus.
She also works with concerns such as panic, dissociation, self-harm and mood disorders. Sessions are offered using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Sharon prefers video for ongoing work but uses messaging for the initial assessment and arranging sessions.
Her schedule is described as flexible, which can help people fit therapy around other commitments. Her approach is client-centred, so conversations tend to focus on the person’s own goals, preferences and pace. Sharon aims to collaborate with each person to find practical steps forward, whether that is managing strong emotions, rebuilding confidence or finding life purpose.

Approaches Sharon lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Sharon combines her professional experience with her own life experience to create a collaborative process. She will listen to your priorities, test out what feels useful and adjust the way you work together based on your needs and preferences. Finding the best approach is part of the work and happens step by step with the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for fuller conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Messaging lets people use written updates or quick arrangements between video or phone meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs while keeping the focus on practical progress.
