About Sharon
Sharon Gurr is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief and anger. Sharon also helps people dealing with addictions, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, and major life changes.
Sharon takes a straightforward, practical approach. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centred work. In sessions she helps people notice what matters, try small behaviour changes and practise new ways of responding to difficult feelings.
Her background includes supporting people with trauma, abandonment and attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, chronic health conditions, codependency, and communication problems. Sharon often works through how past experiences affect current reactions and relationships, and she helps clients find ways to reduce recurring anger and resentment.
Sessions typically involve talking through recent situations, noticing patterns of thinking and behaviour, and practising skills to change them. Sharon uses narrative and reflective techniques to help people make sense of their story and set practical steps forward.
She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that may be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to make space for difficult feelings. It is useful for ongoing anger, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, anger outbursts and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people change interpersonal patterns that fuel anger and resentment.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying practical exercises, reflecting on what helps, and adjusting the plan together as understanding grows.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use these practical benefits to support continuity of care and to make therapy manageable alongside work and family commitments.
