About Sharon
Sharon Gurr is a counsellor who uses a blend of approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and life changes. She works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. Sharon holds BACP accreditation and has five years of professional experience supporting people through difficult times.
In sessions she encourages practical steps and clear goals. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT - to help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - to build values-led action.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and direct, focusing on what someone can do between appointments to make small changes. Sharon also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to look at how early relationships still affect feelings and reactions today. That helps when people struggle with abandonment, attachment issues or relationship problems.
She applies Dialectical Behaviour Therapy - DBT - tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Her experience includes supporting people with depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. She also works with issues such as chronic illness, codependency, body image and career transitions.
Sharon aims to make the past easier to understand so clients can move forward with more confidence. To begin, a person completes the site's short questionnaire and schedules sessions according to availability. Sharon approaches each meeting as a collaborative process focused on practical changes and clearer choices.

How Sharon works online
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining skills practice, reflective conversation and values-based tasks until the fit feels right.
The biography does not list which online session formats Sharon uses, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not practical. It also makes regular homework and between-session practice manageable, as techniques can be reviewed and adapted remotely. Overall, online therapy can support steady progress while accommodating a person's schedule and day-to-day demands.
