About Garon
Garon Sheppard offers practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger and depression. He supports those facing relationship strain, low self‑esteem, bipolar mood challenges and major life changes. Garon uses straightforward conversation and clear planning to help people manage difficult feelings and find steady ground again.
He draws on nine years of counselling experience and a long history working in addiction, homelessness and housing services. That background informs a down‑to‑earth approach that values honesty and real‑world solutions over jargon.
Background and approach
His NCPS credential is noted as NCPS and is part of his professional identity. In sessions he combines client‑centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. Mindfulness practices and psychodynamic ideas also appear in his work when they suit a person’s goals.
He aims to match the method to each person rather than following a single template. People can expect calm, direct guidance and help building skills for coping, communication and relapse prevention. Garon also offers coaching-style conversations for life purpose and midlife questions.
He keeps sessions focused and action‑oriented when that is helpful. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging for flexible contact. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability.
To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, then arrange sessions according to availability.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches simple tools to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviour, which is useful for anxiety, depression and addiction patterns. Dialectical behaviour therapy, or DBT, adds skills for regulating emotion and handling intense moments, which can help with anger, self‑control and crises.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try different techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made. That helps ensure sessions feel useful and fit the person’s life rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers practical benefits: video calls work well for deeper conversation and seeing facial cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, while live chat or text messaging suit quick check‑ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit help around work, family and other commitments.
