About Sharon
Sharon Matharu is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She holds NCPS as a credential and draws on a long background in teaching to inform her work. Sharon aims to make the first step easier by offering calm, practical support for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them. Conversations are shaped by the person's needs rather than a single method.
Background and approach
Sharon adapts how she works to match each client's situation and goals. Her work covers common stresses such as anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and grief. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, career stress, eating and body-image problems, and trauma and abuse.
Additional interests include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, ageing and geriatric concerns, and aspects of autism and Asperger syndrome. Sharon uses a mix of client-centred approaches, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. That blend is used to help people notice patterns, try practical changes and build coping skills that fit their life.
Sessions are offered in English and Punjabi. People who want to begin can use the Start Therapy button, fill in a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Sharon works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sharon will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts conversations and techniques over time, so the plan can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in between commitments, or removing the need to be on camera if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals often find online work supports steady progress through regular sessions and practical homework between meetings.
