Sharon Gurr

Sharon Gurr is a counsellor with a BACP credential who helps people untangle difficult emotions and life changes. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger and addiction, and supports those coping with relationship strain, grief and parenting challenges. Sharon places practical steps alongside listening, to help people move forward at their own pace.

Her approach blends several therapies to match each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot patterns and try new responses. Attachment-based thinking and client-centred work help with early relationship wounds and build self-understanding.

Sharon keeps sessions warm and down-to-earth. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change. She also offers creative techniques when feelings are hard to name or shift.

With five years of experience on the current professional pathway and a broader background in counselling, she has supported people through trauma, bereavement, complex family matters and long-term coping problems. Her work includes practical tools for sleep, eating, and managing overwhelming emotion.

People who choose Sharon can expect a collaborative process. She helps clients set clear, achievable steps and reviews progress together. If someone wants to explore options or try different techniques, she adapts the work to suit their goals.

To begin, readers are invited to use the service’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist’s scheduling options.

How Sharon’s approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help where avoidance, worry or low mood get in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep and eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon collaborates with each person to decide which combination of ACT, CBT or attachment-based ideas will fit their aims. She will review progress and adjust methods based on what helps most in practice.

The therapist’s profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm which session types are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, caring duties or travel, and they can make brief check-ins, longer therapy blocks or regular skills practice simpler to arrange. Online work also supports using tools and homework between sessions so change continues beyond the hour.
