About Sharon
Sharon Gunnell is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, career questions and coping with life changes, including a focus on young adult issues. Sharon uses person-centred and acceptance-based approaches to help people manage hard moments and make clearer choices about the next steps.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what matters now - managing overwhelming feelings, rebuilding confidence after loss, or working out career and life direction. Sharon helps people notice patterns that make things harder and practises new ways of responding to improve day-to-day coping.
Sharon describes her style as client-centred and pluralistic. That means she listens first, then adapts tools and methods to what an individual says works for them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) features in her practice alongside client-centred work to support values-driven action and emotional acceptance.
Sharon also addresses longer-term or life-stage challenges such as midlife change, ageing and geriatric issues, chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns. She offers support for those dealing with sexual assault, bereavement, isolation and relationship communication problems.
Sessions are conducted in English and are intended for adults. International clients are not accepted. Practical arrangements such as cost vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Sharon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to life changes that matter to the individual. Client-Centred Therapy is also central to her work and means conversations begin with listening and reflecting what a person says so they feel understood and more able to decide next steps.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of treatment. Sharon will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That selection is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule and removing travel time so check-ins are more manageable. If you need to know which session formats are offered, confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists offer online work that aims to keep progress practical and suited to everyday life.
