About Sharon
Sharon Gurr is a counsellor with a BACP accreditation and five years of recent practice experience. She works in the United Kingdom and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression and parenting challenges. Sharon prefers a warm, down-to-earth approach and aims to help people make sense of their lives and move forward.
Sharon draws on several practical therapy approaches to match the needs in the room. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and take committed action.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviours. Attachment-based ideas help when relationships and early experiences affect how someone copes now. Sessions focus on clear, everyday skills and conversation rather than jargon.
Sharon often combines talking with simple exercises and creative techniques to help people work through painful memories and recurring habits. She also helps people tackle relationship difficulties, grief, sleeping or eating issues, and career stress. People who want flexible contact can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.
Sharon accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Fees vary with location and are billed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that matter to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviours to reduce distress and improve daily routines. It often helps with depression, sleep or eating difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as progress is made or problems change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring responsibilities and everyday life.
