About Sharon

Sharon Gurr is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people facing difficult moments. She brings five years of experience working with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship worries and grief. Sharon aims to make sense of where someone is now and where they want to go next.

Sharon blends several methods to suit each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try practical changes. Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ways of working are used to build a sense of safety and to understand relationship patterns.

Sessions tend to focus on clear, practical steps alongside reflection. Sharon often works with emotional pain from trauma, loss and difficult family experiences. She also supports people dealing with addictions, sleep or eating concerns, anger and struggles with self-esteem.

She makes space for creative techniques when that helps someone express things they cannot easily say. This can include exercises that shift how a person responds to overwhelming feelings and habits. The overall aim is to close painful chapters and move towards more workable daily life.

Sharon encourages a collaborative style. She helps people set goals, try new coping strategies and review what works. To begin, readers are invited to use the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Sharon's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviours to reduce distress and improve daily routines. It often helps with stress, sleep and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people try different ways of relating when old patterns cause pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Sharon works collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. She will review progress and adapt techniques so that sessions remain focused and relevant to what the client needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to access consistent support from a UK-based BACP counsellor even if you are currently located elsewhere.
