About Sharon
Sharon Gurr is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) who uses practical, person-focused work to help people facing difficult moments. She offers calm, straightforward support aimed at making sense of painful experiences and finding clearer ways forward. Sharon writes in plain language and keeps sessions down to earth for busy people and worried parents.
Sharon brings five years of professional experience and a mix of therapy methods to each appointment.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on attachment-based perspectives to look at how relationships shape feelings. Her work also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people focus on values and small steps towards change. People come to Sharon for many concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief and relationship strain.
She also supports issues such as eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Additional areas she addresses include ADHD, body image, caregiver stress and divorce or separation. Sessions are conversational and practical.
Sharon helps people notice patterns, try short experiments between sessions, and build everyday tools for coping. She uses creative exercises when helpful and keeps suggestions simple so they fit into busy lives. Sharon sees clients in the United Kingdom and works with people internationally in English.
She offers several remote session formats so people can choose what fits their routine. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair a person with her schedule and approach.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleeping or eating difficulties and managing stress.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and patterns. It can be especially helpful for people dealing with grief, relationship issues, abandonment or caregiver stress.
Deciding on the right approach is a shared process. Sharon will talk with a person about their goals and preferences, try methods that match those aims, and adjust the plan as they learn what helps. The work is collaborative and paced to fit what the person wants to achieve.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls create a face-to-face feel for deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit short check-ins or flexible schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other daily demands while still using the approaches described above.
