Garon Sheppard, NCPS

About Garon

Garon Sheppard welcomes people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, bipolar mood issues, and major life changes. He uses straightforward conversations and practical steps to help people find better ways of coping. Garon's approach aims to make space for difficult feelings while looking for small, manageable changes that ease daily life.

He draws on nine years of counselling experience and a longer background working in addictions, homelessness, and housing.

Background and approach

That combination shapes a down-to-earth style that values honesty and practical support. Sessions focus on listening first, then creating realistic goals together. Garon uses client-centred methods to keep the person’s needs central.

He also works with cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and with dialectical behaviour ideas to build emotional skills. Mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives inform how he helps people understand feelings and behaviour over time. People who have faced addiction, loss, or difficult life transitions may find his lived-experience background reassuring rather than theoretical.

He offers a variety of ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Garon is registered with NCPS, which appears as NCPS in his credentials.

He works from the United Kingdom and provides therapy in English. International clients are not currently accepted.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and follows the person’s pace to build trust and clarify goals. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and understood.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing thought and behaviour patterns that cause distress. It uses practical exercises and experiments that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and tackle unhelpful habits.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, known as DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which can be useful for people facing anger, self-regulation problems, or addiction-related difficulties.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences in early sessions and tailor methods as work progresses. That means approaches can be blended or shifted to suit what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical access. Video calls allow full visual interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions can fit a short break in the day, live chat offers quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caring duties, or other commitments.
