About Sharon
Sharon Gurr is a BACP counsellor who uses practical, person-centred work to help people steady their lives. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. Sharon also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, parenting strain and the fallout of trauma and abuse.
She offers a calm, warm space to talk and think things through. Sessions are about making sense of the past and finding small, steady steps forward. Sharon often uses cognitive behavioural ideas alongside acceptance-based thinking to help people change unhelpful patterns.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. That can help with problems such as abandonment, attachment issues and difficulty trusting others. Dialectical and client-centred methods are also part of her toolbox for managing intense feelings and building self-compassion.
Sharon has five years of experience working with a broad range of concerns and additional focus areas, including body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and communication problems. She aims to help people feel more in control and better able to cope with life changes.
If someone is ready to begin, Sharon guides them through a simple first step to match with therapy and set up sessions. She keeps language straightforward and the work practical, so people can use what they learn in everyday life.
How Sharon’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters to them. It supports coping with anxiety, low mood and life changes by encouraging values-led action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to break unhelpful cycles, which is useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns, helping with trust issues, abandonment concerns and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed so the work fits the client’s life and aims.
Confirm the session formats Sharon is offering before booking so you know how you will meet. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or medical needs and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when people need a quick review, and sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits help therapy slot into busy days while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
