About Sharon

Sharon Gurr BACP offers a practical, person-centred approach that helps people untangle difficult feelings and make decisions about next steps. She presents calm, straightforward support so people can talk about stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship difficulties without feeling judged. Sharon helps people name what matters to them and work towards clearer choices for their life.

Sharon draws on approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). She uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, build new ways of responding, and practice small changes between sessions. Therapy can focus on managing depression, grief, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, and coping with life changes.

With five years of documented experience and BACP registration, Sharon offers a steady, respectful style that values each person’s unique story. She also works with issues such as parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, body image and chronic pain or illness. Her approach is collaborative and paced to what each person needs.

Sharon accepts international clients and works from the United Kingdom. People can expect practical suggestions alongside deeper emotional work, and creative techniques when needed to help process difficult memories or feelings. The aim is to help people move from where they are now to clearer, more manageable steps.

How Sharon’s approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes by focusing on small, values-based steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Together they will test what helps and adjust the plan as needed rather than committing to a single method from the start.

Please confirm the current session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter arrangement during a work break. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use different techniques online to support the same kinds of issues they address in person.
