About Garon
Garon Sheppard offers help for people dealing with stress, anxiety and addiction. He is a counsellor who listens without judgement and helps people work through grief, anger and depression. He also supports people facing relationship strain, family issues, trauma and low self-esteem.
Garon brings nine years of counselling experience and broader experience from many years working in addictions, homelessness and housing sectors. His approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what matters now, with time for feelings and for planning next steps.
Background and approach
Garon uses client-centred listening so people feel heard, and he combines that with tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy when useful. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas also appear in his work when they help a person make sense of their experience. Garon says he understands how hard it can be to reach out.
He aims to create a calm space where people can talk about guilt, shame, loss or life transitions. He has personal and professional experience around addiction and homelessness, which informs his empathy and practical focus. He offers several ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.
Sessions are provided in English and are delivered from the United Kingdom. Fees vary with location and the service is arranged via a subscription that clients can cancel at any time. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
Garon uses his background to help people move toward clearer thinking and steadier coping in everyday life.
How Garon blends approaches for online care
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist reflects what a person says and helps them find their own solutions, which is useful when someone needs a steady, non-judgemental space to talk about anxiety or loss.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It offers concrete techniques to test ideas and change patterns that feed worry or low mood, making it helpful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving regulation. It can be used to reduce impulsive reactions and to build better ways of relating to others.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. That collaborative process helps people understand what helps them most and adjust the plan as they progress.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when time and travel are limited. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good short check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options give flexibility so people can choose the format that works best for their schedule and comfort.
