Sharon Gurr, BACP

Sharon Gurr is a counsellor who works with people trying to make sense of difficult life moments. She uses a practical, person-focused style to help clients move from feeling stuck to clearer choices. Sharon holds BACP accreditation and practises in the United Kingdom.

She blends approaches to suit each person rather than using a single method. Sessions often involve talking through patterns, trying new ways of thinking, and practising small changes between meetings. This can include tools drawn from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive approaches, attachment-based ideas and person-centred listening.

Sharon has five years of experience in the kinds of issues people commonly bring to therapy. She supports people with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, relationship difficulties and sleep or eating concerns. Sexual dysfunction is listed among her focus areas and may be discussed as part of relationship or personal wellbeing work.

She also works with people facing ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, trauma and abuse, and family or parenting strains. Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster-care related concerns, body image, caregiver stress and chronic illness. Sharon uses creative techniques when helpful to access feelings that are hard to name.

Her style aims to be warm and down-to-earth. Sessions are framed around the client’s goals and pace. If someone wants to try therapy with her they begin by following the site’s Start Therapy steps to match and schedule a first meeting.

How Sharon’s approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, then focus on actions that match what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and long-term patterns that get in the way of valued living. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches simple experiments and skills to change unhelpful cycles. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and safety in close connections and can help with relationship worries and patterns of coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss which methods seem most helpful and adapt sessions to a person’s needs and goals. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made together, so clients have a say in what they try and when.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow follow-up work between sessions. Some formats may suit shorter check-ins, while others allow full hour sessions and use of worksheets or exercises shared during the meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients choose an arrangement that fits their day-to-day routine.
