About Sharon
Sharon Matharu is an NCPS-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional practice. She has a long background in teaching and mentoring that she brings into her counselling work. Sharon lists areas she helps with including stress, anxiety, relationships, depression and issues linked to identity and trauma.
Sharon uses a person-centred foundation in sessions and combines it with practical tools from cognitive behavioural and solution-focused approaches. She aims to keep conversations straightforward and goal-orientated, helping people notice patterns and try small experiments that can shift day-to-day coping. Sessions often cover self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related concerns and workplace or study stress.
Her style is approachable and direct. Sharon listens, reflects, and offers techniques such as simple cognitive reframes, behavioural steps, and grounding or mindfulness practices to manage overwhelming feelings. She also draws on her coaching and teaching experience to help with motivation and planning for next steps.
People who prefer clear, practical sessions that mix listening with actionable tasks may find this approach useful. Sharon speaks English and Punjabi, and she documents a broad range of additional focus areas including attachment, body image, parenting-related concerns and family of origin issues.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Sharon works from a person-centred base combined with cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of mindfulness. Person-centred work focuses on open listening and reflecting to help people clarify what matters to them and make decisions. Cognitive behavioural work looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to test new ways of coping. Mindfulness practices are simple attention and breathing exercises used to reduce reactivity and manage stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work in sessions. Sharon will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different tools, and then she will adapt the mix of listening and practical tasks in collaboration with you. This helps keep sessions relevant to the pressures of early adulthood such as starting work, moving out, or relationship changes.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into study or work schedules, cut travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows practising behavioural experiments and mindfulness at times that suit everyday life.
