About Sharon
Sharon Brooks-Esprit is a BACP counsellor with 15 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, anger, and life changes. Sharon also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse and people facing career or self-esteem issues.
She works in a person-centred way, keeping the client at the core of sessions. That means listening without judgement and helping people find what makes sense for them rather than giving instructions. Sharon uses tools from other approaches when they are useful to the client.
Her background includes work in mental health settings and further education, and she continues to see clients in those contexts. She draws on hands-on experience with bereavement, family problems, betrayal and loss to inform her practice. This practical experience influences how she listens and responds.
Sharon holds a Master’s degree in Person Centred Counselling and is BACP accredited. She has completed additional training in areas such as EMDR, CBT skills, mindfulness, Compassion Focused Therapy, and personality disorder awareness. She is also working towards a diploma in supervision.
In sessions Sharon aims for a relaxed tone and an open, straightforward conversation. She will use techniques such as grounding and mindful breathing when helpful, and adapts the way she works to the concern presented. Her approach suits people who want clear, down-to-earth support with anger, family tensions, grief or anxiety.

How Sharon’s approaches translate to online work
Sharon uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on listening and on helping people make their own choices. In practice this means sessions start with the client’s immediate concerns, and Sharon reflects back what she hears so people can clarify their feelings and responses. This style can help with anger that comes from relationships, work frustrations, or ongoing resentment.She also draws on practical techniques from other approaches when helpful. For example, basic mindfulness can be used to notice bodily signs of rising anger and slow a reactive response. Elements from cognitive approaches can help people spot and test unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel irritation and resentment.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. Sharon will explore a client’s needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit. That is a collaborative process and may include short exercises, breathing practices, or reflective tasks between sessions to help manage anger in daily life.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and let people use techniques in their normal environments. Registered or accredited professionals like Sharon can help adapt these practical benefits to a person’s routine while deciding the best approach.
