Sharon Matharu

Sharon Matharu is a counsellor who has practised for four years in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS, which is shown as her listed credential. Sharon draws on years of teaching and mentoring to shape her work with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains and anger.

Sharon aims to make sessions feel straightforward and welcoming. She creates space for people to talk about difficult feelings without judgement. Her style is adaptable - she listens first, then shapes the session to what the person needs in that moment.

Her background includes using client-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused thinking. That mix lets her help people with low mood, self-esteem, trauma and grief by focusing on practical steps and clearer thinking.

Sharon also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, career transitions, intimacy concerns and issues connected to identity such as LGBT matters. She pays attention to family of origin themes, attachment worries and areas like body image or control issues when these come up.

Sessions are offered in English and Punjabi. The pathway to beginning is simple: press Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Sharon aims to help people find realistic, steady ways to cope and move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor offers acceptance and reflection to help people clarify what matters and make choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety, low mood or anger.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try different techniques to see what fits. Together they review what helps, adjust methods over time, and aim for practical steps that fit everyday life.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can be useful because it makes it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and can reduce time spent on commuting. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to keep continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, and the therapist will advise which way of working suits the person's needs best.
