About Sharon
Sharon Gurr is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and other life changes. Sharon also lists codependency among her focus areas and supports people wrestling with boundaries, control issues and caregiving strain.
Sharon uses straightforward talking therapies to help people make sense of their past and decide where to go next. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Sessions involve exploring patterns, noticing what matters, and practising concrete steps to change how someone reacts to problems.
Her approach makes space for emotions while working on practical skills. That can mean learning new ways to communicate, practising boundary-setting, or trying behavioural experiments to test different responses. Sharon also pays attention to attachment history when relationships and trust are central to the difficulty.
People often come with problems that overlap - for example, anxiety plus sleep trouble, or grief mixed with difficulties in relationships. Sharon aims to break these down into manageable pieces. Discussions are kept clear and focused, with simple tools to try between sessions.
If someone is ready to begin, the next step is to use the site's matching process and book an initial session. The counsellor works collaboratively to agree goals and practical ways forward.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps consistent with those values. It can help when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed by worry, or keeps putting others first at their own expense. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns like rumination or avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early relationship patterns and how they affect trust, boundaries and closeness in current relationships, which can be useful for people worrying about codependency and attachment issues.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what seems most helpful, then try methods together. That way the plan can be adjusted if something does not fit.
The profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around day-to-day life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or avoiding camera use when someone prefers audio only. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so practical skill-building can continue between meetings.
