About Sharon
Sharon Gurr is a counsellor practising from the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she has five years of professional experience supporting people through difficult life moments. Sharon focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, stress and relationship concerns in clear, practical ways.
Sharon combines several established approaches to suit different needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that change how they cope.
Background and approach
She also draws on Attachment-Based and client-centred work to rebuild safety and trust in relationships. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Sharon listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals.
Practical tools and simple exercises are offered between meetings to practise new ways of responding to stress, sleep problems, cravings or low mood. She pays particular attention to difficulties that follow trauma, loss or complicated family situations. That can include grieving, separation, abandonment or the long-term effects of childhood adversity.
Sharon also supports people managing addictions, chronic health challenges, and work-related strain such as compassion fatigue. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the individual. New clients complete a short questionnaire to match with a therapist and then arrange sessions in a format that suits them.
Sharon sees people via video, phone, live chat or text messaging and accepts international clients who speak English.

Online support
She also brings Attachment-Based and client-centred principles into sessions to rebuild trust and a stronger sense of self. Those approaches focus on empathic listening, validating experience and exploring how early relationships shape current reactions. Choosing the right approach is a shared task - Sharon works with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on their situation and goals.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, while still working with a registered professional to address depression, anxiety and other concerns.
