About Sharon
Sharon Gurr is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, depression, grief, sleep and eating problems, and challenges such as ADHD and bipolar. Sharon focuses on young adult issues including coping with life changes, career concerns and relationship pressures common in early adulthood.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person’s situation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take steps that fit those values. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships affect present connections.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Sharon draws on client-centred and dialectical skills to listen and help people build new ways of managing emotions. She also integrates creative techniques when useful to help people access feelings they find hard to name.
Sharon has supported people with trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and complex relationship histories. She helps with making sense of the past and finding ways to move forward. Her work includes addressing grief, abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and coping with chronic illness and caregiving stress.
She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. The counselling service operates via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; fees vary by location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Sharon’s therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to identify what matters to them and then take small steps towards those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It can help with anxiety, low motivation and feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing out new ways of responding. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and eating concerns.
Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and behaviour in current relationships. It can help with relationship tension, abandonment feelings and difficulties trusting others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and agree on which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
