Empathetic support for life changes

Sharon Horwood is a therapist based in Southend on Sea who brings lived experience to her work with clients.
She has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anger management, motivation and confidence. Sharon has also lived through a life-changing brain injury that affected her family and friends, and she uses that personal perspective when working with clients.
She believes that each person is the expert on their own story and that individuals have strengths they can draw on to overcome challenges. Sharon recognises that taking the first step into therapy takes courage and encourages people to be proud of themselves for making that choice.
Sharon works with younger people who are unsure which direction to take and with older people who want to change direction, helping them process outside influences that affect their next steps.
Sessions are offered by video call, and messaging is used only for the initial assessment and to arrange appointments. Her schedule is flexible to accommodate different needs.
Many people ask whether online therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - people can choose the way of connecting that suits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Licensed professionals provide online care, and if a different fit is needed at any time, it is possible to switch therapists. For many, remote sessions offer a practical and effective route to addressing everyday mental health concerns.
