Garon Sheppard offers clear, steady support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger and depression. He also helps with relationship strain, self-esteem, bipolar difficulties and major life changes. Garon uses coaching alongside therapy to help people find practical ways forward.

He holds the NCPS credential and brings nine years of counselling experience to his work. Garon aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth. He listens without judgement and helps people name what’s worrying them.

Background and approach

Together they set small, achievable goals and try methods that suit the person rather than a fixed formula. His background includes long experience in the addictions, homelessness and housing sectors. That practical work informs a direct style focused on recovery, stability and rebuilding routine.

He speaks from both professional practice and personal experience of overcoming hardship. Garon draws on several approaches to match the person’s needs. He uses client-centred methods to keep the conversation focused on the person’s experience.

Cognitive behavioural tools help challenge unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas are offered when they fit the goals. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different routines.

Fees are charged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and arrange sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Garon commonly uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on the person’s own experience and places their concerns at the centre of each session. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the direction of work based on what matters most to them.

He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers tools for changing unhelpful thinking and building practical coping strategies for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Garon will discuss different methods and help decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. He treats this as a collaborative process and adapts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone work can fit a short break or lower bandwidth, and messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family or travel commitments while keeping the focus on steady therapeutic progress.
