About Sharon
Sharon Gurr is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people make sense of difficult times and find a way forward. She presents a calm, warm presence and aims to create space where people can reflect and begin to change. Sharon describes her approach as collaborative and practical, helping clients move from feeling stuck to clearer choices.
Sharon works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship problems. She also supports people facing parenting strain, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, bipolar challenges, ADHD and coping with life changes. She has additional experience with abandonment, attachment issues, blended family matters, chronic pain and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Her background includes five years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sharon combines talking therapy with creative techniques when helpful, such as storytelling and other expressive methods to access difficult feelings and perspectives.
In sessions she draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas and techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy. The focus is on practical steps people can use between sessions as well as making sense of past events.
People who wish to begin a change process are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Sharon works with individuals to set realistic goals and to build skills for everyday life challenges.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going and practising small changes to break those patterns. It often helps with anxiety, mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals and preferences and then recommend ways of working. Decisions about which methods to try are made collaboratively and can change as needs evolve.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example reducing travel time or making it simpler to attend during a lunch break. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a brief update is helpful, or avoid being on camera when audio works better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit online sessions, helping people practise skills in their everyday environment.
