About Sharon

Sharon Gurr is a counsellor who draws on person-focused and action-oriented approaches to help people through difficult times. She works in the United Kingdom and brings five years of professional experience to common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress and grief.

Her approach is conversational and practical, aimed at helping people make sense of what they are feeling and find clearer ways forward. Sharon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-informed and client-centred methods.

Background and approach

She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and build values-based goals. Sessions balance listening with straightforward tools to manage emotions and choices. Her practice addresses a wide range of issues including relationship strain, parenting pressures, eating and sleeping problems, addiction, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.

Sharon also works with people facing trauma, attachment difficulties, abandonment and the effects of divorce or separation. She aims to help people move from feeling stuck to making practical, achievable steps. Sharon’s style is warm and down-to-earth.

She uses creative techniques when helpful to make difficult feelings easier to talk about. The work is collaborative - clients and counsellor decide together what to try next. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Therapy is arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging available.

Ways of working Sharon names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Practical therapy approaches for online sessions

Sharon draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to support people in online work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values even when feelings are difficult. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Sharon works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is reviewed over time so the plan can change as progress is made or new challenges appear.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel. Video calls are useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options aim to offer flexibility while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional understanding.
