About Sharon Brooks-Esprit
Sharon Brooks-Esprit is a BACP-accredited counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings 15 years of clinical experience to her practice. She works from a person-centred foundation, creating a calm, non-judgemental space where the client leads the pace and direction of therapy. The BACP credential refers to accreditation by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which recognises professional standards in counselling practice.
Sharon has worked across a range of settings including NHS mental health services, prisons, in-patient and community teams, charity work, and educational environments supporting young people. She continues to work part-time in counselling roles and has experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, grief, family conflict, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and fatherhood issues, trauma and abuse, and complex life changes. She also offers informed support around codependency, divorce and separation, multicultural concerns, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and end-of-life issues.
Her training includes qualification in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma work, a master’s degree in person-centred counselling, and additional certificates in areas such as dialectical behaviour therapy skills, personality disorder awareness, life coaching, and supervision training. Sharon is DBS cleared to work with adults and children and aims to help clients recognise moments of insight that support emotional progress. Her style is open and non-judgemental, often relaxed and warm, and she seeks to strengthen confidence while encouraging personal growth without directing clients on what to do.

Client-Centered Support and Online Trauma Care
Client-Centered Therapy is at the heart of Sharon's approach. This way of working focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental relationship that helps people explore their feelings and priorities at their own pace - it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, and general life transitions.
EMDR is another aspect of her practice for working with trauma. In plain terms, EMDR involves structured techniques that can help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity - it can be suitable for those coping with past trauma or abuse when used by a trained practitioner.
Sharon sees finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt techniques from her wider training where helpful. This shared decision-making helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care even when schedules or circumstances change.
