About Sharon
Sharon Matharu is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has four years of professional experience. She works with people who bring stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and other life challenges. Sharon uses straightforward conversation and practical steps rather than clinical jargon.
Sharon draws on person-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural and solution-focused ideas. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now, what patterns are getting in the way, and small changes a person can try between meetings. She explains tools in simple terms and checks how they feel for each person.
Before becoming a counsellor she spent many years teaching, and she uses that experience to explain ideas clearly. That background also shapes how she helps people build new routines and skills to manage day-to-day pressures and emotions. Sharon offers work on matters such as career pressures, parenting stresses, eating concerns, intimacy-related issues and identity questions including LGBT matters.
Sharon adapts the pace and style of sessions to the person in front of her. She aims to listen without judgement and to help people notice what is useful to change. Work can include short, goal-focused plans or a more open conversational style depending on what someone prefers.
Sessions are conducted in English and Punjabi. International clients are not accepted, and practical details such as cost and scheduling follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and then books a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says. Online sessions keep that same simple focus - the counsellor helps people talk through feelings and notices what matters most to them. This style suits worries that feel hard to name, such as social anxiety or relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers clear ideas about patterns of thought and behaviour and practical exercises to try between meetings. Online sessions can include setting small tasks, practising coping steps, and reviewing what worked in the week that followed.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sharon will discuss what's needed and agree on a plan together, matching person-centred listening with CBT or solution-focused techniques as appropriate. That collaboration helps make the work feel relevant and manageable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people choose online appointments because they fit around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to keep regular sessions without long travel. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements when arranging the first meeting.
