About Sharon

Sharon Gurr is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship struggles, grief and trauma. Sharon also assists with issues around sleep, eating, parenting, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Sessions focus on naming difficult feelings, looking at how patterns repeat, and finding clearer ways to respond. Practical tools and talk work sit alongside reflective listening.

Sharon draws on approaches that look at how past experiences affect current reactions. She helps people make sense of where they are and decide what to change. Work may include exploring attachment issues, abandonment or the effects of adverse childhood experiences.

When relevant, she addresses specific concerns such as compassion fatigue, ADHD, chronic illness, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems. The pace is adjusted to the person’s needs and the work often combines short-term strategies with deeper exploration.

Sharon accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session.

How Sharon’s approaches translate to online sessions

Sharon uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name strong emotions and the patterns that keep repeating. EFT can be useful when feelings are hard to put into words and where relational patterns affect daily life. She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based steps to move forward, and Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early relationships shape current responses.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss client goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and adapt the methods over time. That way the work can include both short-term coping strategies and deeper emotional work as needed.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow a quieter check-in when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find web or phone appointments helpful for shorter check-ins or when arranging sessions around work and family commitments.
