About Sharon
Sharon Gurr is a counsellor who works with people wanting clearer ways to cope and rest. She names her approaches in everyday terms and aims to help clients who struggle with sleep, stress, anxiety and the weight of past hurts. Sharon holds BACP accreditation and brings five years of experience in this setting.
She keeps sessions practical and focused. Conversations look at current patterns and gentle ways to change them. Techniques borrowed from cognitive and acceptance-based approaches help people try new behaviours and notice what matters most to them.
Sharon pays attention to how early relationships shape today’s life. Attachment-based ideas are used to notice how people connect, withdraw or protect themselves. That helps when worries about relationships, abandonment or blended families keep coming up.
Therapy also addresses grief, addiction, low self-esteem and parenting strain. Sharon uses client-centred listening so people can say what matters without feeling judged. Where useful, she brings in skills from dialectical and cognitive approaches to manage overwhelming feelings and reduce unhelpful thinking.
Sessions can include creative techniques to work with emotions that are hard to name. Sharon encourages practical steps that fit everyday life, such as small sleep and routine changes when sleep is a problem. If someone is ready to try talking therapy, she guides them through the first steps and what to expect.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values rather than getting stuck. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and adapting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that interfere with sleep, mood or daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current connection and trust, and can help with worries about abandonment or relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Sharon works collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's needs and goals. She will discuss options, try things out, and adjust the approach as the work progresses so it feels practical and manageable.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find that remote work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier, for example by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or using phone calls when video would create extra complexity. Registered or accredited professionals often use a range of methods to support sleep, stress and emotional regulation in ways that fit everyday routines.
