Sharon Gurr is a counsellor who combines practical talking therapy with compassionate support. She works in the United Kingdom and brings five years of practice helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and other difficult life experiences. She focuses on making the past easier to live with so people can move forward.
Sessions aim to help people understand themselves, make clearer choices and find steady ways to cope when life feels overwhelming.
Background and approach
Sharon offers a calm and non-judgemental space to talk things through. Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods to match what each person needs. That can mean learning skills for managing difficult thoughts and emotions, exploring relationship patterns, or building more helpful routines in day-to-day life.
Practical tools and guided reflection are used together. Sharon has experience working with depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family concerns, and issues such as eating, sleeping and parenting strain. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, addiction, anger, and ADHD-related challenges.
Sessions are available in English and can be arranged across different formats to fit busy lives. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
How Sharon’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and committing to actions that fit a chosen direction, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits, useful for stress, sleeping problems and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will talk through your situation and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made collaboratively so the plan fits your goals.
Online therapy offers flexibility across video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and guided exercises, phone sessions suit quieter audio-only check-ins, live chat can be handy for shorter interactions, and text messaging works well for brief reflections or prompts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping consistent progress.
