About Sharon

Sharon Gurr is a counsellor who uses a flexible, evidence-based approach to help people make sense of difficult moments. She blends practical talking therapies with creative techniques so clients can work through painful memories and build clearer next steps. Sharon presents herself with warmth and calm, offering time to reflect and to practise new ways of coping.

With five years of experience recorded here, Sharon draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She combines these with client-centred work to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain. The focus is on small, practical changes that ease day-to-day life.

Sharon also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care matters, abandonment and attachment issues, and the ongoing effects of trauma and abuse. She works with concerns including stress, addictions, parenting strain, body image and sleep problems. Her practice extends to helping people facing major life changes and career uncertainty.

Sessions include talking through difficult feelings and learning skills to manage strong emotion. Sharon uses practical exercises, reflective conversation and creative techniques when helpful. The aim is to help clients move from feeling stuck to making thoughtful choices about the future.

To begin, visitors can complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to scheduling options. Sharon offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions

Sharon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, often useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections and self-understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they will decide which methods to try first. This collaborative process means techniques can be adapted as the relationship and goals develop.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats available before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to use quieter surroundings or to avoid being on camera if that helps them engage better. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer online options that aim to make work on issues like anxiety, grief, trauma and relationship patterns practical and manageable.
