About Sharon

Sharon Gurr is a BACP counsellor who helps people navigate painful or confusing life moments. She offers a warm, creative approach and focuses on helping people make sense of themselves and move forward. Sharon writes plainly and helps clients close chapters of the past so they can aim for a brighter future.

Sharon draws on several evidence-informed methods to match how a person prefers to work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches guide sessions that explore relationships and the impact of early experiences.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma and abuse. Sharon also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career uncertainty. Additional areas she attends to include abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and caregiver stress.

Sharon has five years of experience recorded in the profile summary and holds BACP as a credential. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, with international clients accepted. Sharon encourages people to take small steps toward change and to bring what matters most to the sessions.

To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. The subscription for sessions can be cancelled at any time and pricing varies with location and availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. This can help when life feels stuck, or when worry and avoidance are getting in the way of what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. That approach can be useful for specific problems like sleep, panic or unhelpful routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Sharon will work collaboratively to understand a person's goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. Together they can adjust techniques and pace as progress is made or new issues emerge.

The profile does not specify which online formats Sharon offers, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Other practical benefits include being able to meet a therapist from a different area and using sessions that suit quieter surroundings or require less visual bandwidth.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
