About Sharon
Sharon Gurr is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, parenting strain, grief, addiction and trauma. Sharon also lists help for sleep and eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Sharon focuses on helping people understand patterns from their past that affect daily life now. She uses clear, practical conversation and reflective exercises rather than jargon. Sessions often involve looking at recent problems and linking them to earlier experiences so clients can choose different responses.
Her approach draws on a mix of cognitive and relational methods. That can mean learning new skills for managing difficult thoughts and emotions alongside exploring attachment and relationship patterns. Sharon also uses client-centred techniques to keep the work grounded in each person's priorities.
People come to Sharon for a range of issues, including parental stress, blended family tensions, grief after loss, and the effects of adverse childhood experiences. She discusses strategies for coping, communication and managing intense emotions in everyday life.
Sharon encourages steady, practical change. She offers reflective discussion, skill practice and creative exercises when helpful. To begin, the site asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Sharon's therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports clearer values-based choices and can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps people understand patterns that affect family and relationship concerns and develop different ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy gives priority to the person's own experience and pace. The counsellor follows the client's concerns, reflecting and clarifying so the person feels understood and can decide what to work on.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss goals, past experience and what feels most useful, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process can involve trying skills-based exercises, looking at relational patterns, or a mix of both depending on progress and preference.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find online work helps them practise skills in the context of daily life while still getting guided support from a registered professional.
