About Sharon
Sharon Horwood is a counsellor based in Southend-on-Sea who brings three years of practice and personal experience to her work. She has lived through a life-changing brain injury and draws on that personal perspective when supporting clients. Sharon works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She also helps those dealing with anger, motivation, grief and career questions.
Her approach starts from the idea that each person knows their own story best. She uses client-centred therapy to create a calm space where clients can talk and be heard. Sessions focus on what matters now and practical steps clients can try between meetings.
Sharon is comfortable helping people who want support with parenting concerns and those coping with major life changes. She also offers help around trauma and abuse, mood disorders, panic, dissociation and issues linked to chronic pain or brain injury. Her work includes coaching-style conversations when clients want clearer goals and direction.
Sessions are offered in English and take place by video call. Sharon uses messaging only for the initial assessment and to arrange appointments. She keeps a flexible schedule to fit around clients' commitments.
Deciding to start therapy can feel daunting and Sharon aims to make that step manageable. She invites clients to begin with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session according to her availability.
Client-centred work and online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what the client brings to the session. The counsellor offers empathic reflection and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach is often useful for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.Sharon also brings lived experience of brain injury into her practice, which can help when clients wish to discuss recovery, family impact or changes in identity. That personal perspective can make practical conversations about coping and adjustment easier to hold during sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Sharon will work with clients to decide what methods and goals suit their needs and preferences. She aims for a collaborative process where direction and pace are agreed together.
Sharon offers video call sessions and uses messaging only for the initial assessment and booking. Please confirm the full range of session options before booking. Online sessions can be easier to fit into a busy life, reduce travel time and let people attend from wherever they are. They also allow shorter check-ins or regular weekly meetings to keep progress steady.
