About Sharon
Sharon Gurr is a counsellor with a BACP accreditation who focuses on how thoughts and everyday habits shape wellbeing. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. Her approach aims to help individuals make sense of themselves and find practical ways forward.
Sharon uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to address unhelpful thinking and recurring behaviour patterns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. She also uses Attachment-Based and client-centred ideas to make space for emotional connection and understanding.
Her background includes five years of clinical practice supporting people with addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar difficulties, and parenting or family stresses. Sharon also offers support around sleep, eating, chronic pain and caregiver stress, and works with issues such as body image, abandonment and attachment problems.
Sessions tend to be calm and practical, with room for creative techniques when useful. Sharon aims to help clients close chapters from the past and build routines that support day-to-day life. She encourages small, manageable steps rather than sudden overhauls.
If someone is ready to explore change, Sharon asks them to reflect on what matters most and try simple, consistent habits that align with those priorities. This pace is intended to make progress feel doable and relevant to everyday life.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small actions that match their values. It supports people coping with anxiety, depression, grief and life transitions by focusing on what matters and building steady habits. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress, sleep and eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, which can help with relationship problems, abandonment issues and attachment concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. That decision is reviewed as progress is made and needs change, so therapy can adapt as understanding grows.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or phone options that suit their comfort and energy levels. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often find remote sessions useful for maintaining steady, practical habit work and ongoing support.
