About Sharon
Sharon Gurr is a counsellor who uses practical, person-focused approaches to help people with anxiety and stress. She works in English and supports international clients from the United Kingdom. Sharon holds a BACP credential and brings five years of professional experience to her practice.
She blends several well-known approaches to match each person's needs. That can mean using techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking, or drawing on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people live with difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions centre on what matters to the client and on small steps that build coping skills. Sharon supports people facing a wide range of concerns. These include depression, grief, relationship strain, addictions, sleep problems, parenting stress, and coping with life changes.
She also works with issues such as attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness and disability, codependency, and recovery from trauma and abuse. Her style is warm and practical. Conversations aim to make sense of current problems, reduce overwhelm, and help people find clearer direction.
Sharon uses straightforward tools and creative exercises when they help a person progress. People come away with concrete strategies to manage mood, tackle anxiety, and improve everyday functioning. If someone prefers online sessions, Sharon offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Sharon uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people recognise patterns of thought and behaviour. That approach is useful for tackling anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful habits by breaking issues down into manageable steps.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy which focuses on identifying personal values and learning how to live alongside difficult emotions. This can help people cope with persistent worry, stress, or life changes without getting stuck in avoidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon discusses goals and preferences at the start and adjusts methods as therapy progresses. Together the client and therapist decide which tools fit best, making changes when needed.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversational flow, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, family life and travel while keeping continuity of care.
