Sharon Matharu is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She holds NCPS, which indicates a recognised credential, and brings a long background in teaching that informs her practical approach. Sharon speaks English and Punjabi and offers therapy online via several formats to suit different needs.

Sharon helps people address stress, anxiety and depression in straightforward conversations. She also supports concerns around relationships, self-esteem, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues.

Background and approach

Other areas she focuses on include eating and parenting difficulties, anger, career worries and coping with life changes. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on the person in front of her, adapting techniques to the situation rather than using a rigid method.

She draws on client-centred ideas to make space for feelings, together with cognitive behavioural tools to tackle unhelpful thoughts and practical problem-solving to shape next steps. Sharon uses mindfulness and solution-focused strategies when relevant, helping people build simple habits and short-term plans they can try between sessions.

Conversations aim to be clear and practical so parents and busy adults can fit therapy into their lives. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit them. Costs vary by location and the service works via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Sharon’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The counsellor creates space for people to talk through feelings and decide what matters to them next. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and a clearer sense of their own priorities.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss goals, try methods together and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful for the person. That makes therapy a collaborative process rather than a set prescription.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and make it easier to keep continuity between meetings.
