About Sharon
Sharon Matharu is a counsellor with four years of professional experience who helps people facing anxiety, stress and life transitions. She combines practical conversation with gentle support to help people feel heard. Sharon works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English and Punjabi.
Sharon draws on a person-centred outlook that prioritises the client’s perspective. She aims to make sessions feel calm and non-judgemental so people can speak openly about relationship worries, self-esteem, grief and past hurt.
Background and approach
She also supports those coping with work pressures, eating concerns, anger and major life changes. Her approach is flexible. Sharon uses cognitive-behavioural ideas to spot thinking patterns that keep problems going and she uses solution-focused techniques to set small, practical goals.
Mindfulness ideas are woven in to help people manage stress and stay grounded during difficult moments. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Sharon adapts questions and exercises to fit the person’s needs rather than applying one set method.
This can include short tasks between sessions, simple thought records or mindful breathing practices to try at home. Sharon’s background also includes work supporting people with trauma and abuse, family-of-origin issues, identity concerns and intimacy-related problems. She aims to help people find clearer choices and manageable next steps, whether the focus is on coping now or making longer term change.
How Sharon's Approaches Work Online
Sharon uses client-centred methods to keep conversations focused on the person’s experience. This approach means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people shape their own goals. It works well for relationship worries, identity concerns and feelings of emptiness.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. That approach helps when anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits are a problem, because it offers simple ways to test and change thinking patterns and behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will discuss different methods and adapt them to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about techniques and pace are made collaboratively so the plan fits the client’s life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video suits fuller conversations and visual cues, phone can be a quicker check-in and uses less data, live chat works for shorter check-ins and text messaging allows ongoing notes and prompts between longer meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily routines.
