About Sharon

Sharon Gurr is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people who are finding stress and anxiety hard to manage and who are dealing with relationship, grief and life-change problems. Sharon also supports people facing addiction, trauma and struggles with sleep, eating or self-esteem.

Sharon prefers straightforward sessions that focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions often include talking things through and learning small skills that can be practised between meetings.

Her background draws on client-centred ideas, where the person’s experience guides the pace and content of sessions. Sharon has experience helping people process losses, manage relationship conflict and cope with major life transitions. She also works with issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment concerns and caregiver stress.

People meet Sharon to address problems such as anger, career worries, ADHD-related challenges and compassion fatigue. Treatment focuses on clear steps, coping strategies and improving day-to-day functioning. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Sharon uses evidence-based approaches in online work

This practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-informed work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than trying to get rid of every uncomfortable feeling. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns and help people try different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice may change as understanding grows and new needs emerge, and sessions are adjusted accordingly.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you need clarity on exact session types and technical options, confirm the available formats before booking. Working online can make it easier to keep appointments around work or caring responsibilities, allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid commuting so sessions fit daily life more easily.
