Sharon Gurr, BACP

Sharon Gurr offers a practical, person-centred way of working that focuses on what matters to each client. She uses a mix of evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. Sharon aims to create calm, steady sessions where clients can talk things through and find realistic steps forward.

Sharon has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which means she works within recognised professional standards. She helps people who are dealing with depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief and relationship difficulties. She also supports those coping with sleep and eating problems, anger, low self-esteem and career concerns.

Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based work alongside client-centred and dialectical approaches. In a session she listens, reflects and offers tools you can try between meetings. The focus is on practical strategies and clearer understanding of patterns that get in the way.

Sharon also works with issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, parenting strain, blended family challenges, abandonment and attachment difficulties. She guides clients through practical coping skills for chronic pain, long-term illness and other ongoing stresses.

Sessions are offered in English and Sharon accepts international clients. Therapy is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.

How Sharon’s approaches work in online therapy

Sharon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small, meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression and difficulty coping with change.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviours. CBT offers practical exercises useful for sleep problems, anger, eating concerns and mood management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will talk through goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit the person's situation. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online therapy with Sharon can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets you work face to face from different places. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a conversation without video feels easier. Live chat and messaging can fit shorter check-ins and make it easier to keep therapy going between meetings. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions around work, family and travel.
