About Sharon

Sharon Gurr is a BACP counsellor who focuses on trauma and related concerns. She offers a calm, patient presence to help people make sense of what’s happened and take steps forward. Sharon uses practical tools and straightforward conversation to build small, achievable changes.

She draws on a mix of approaches, including Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions often combine talking with practical exercises and simple strategies to manage feelings and reactions.

Background and approach

That mix helps people deal with anxiety, depression, addiction and difficult life events. Sharon has five years of experience working in the United Kingdom. Her background includes helping people with trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and the effects of chronic pain or illness.

She also supports those coping with job stress, career changes, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her style is warm and creative. She encourages clients to try different ways of making sense of their experience - such as narrative work and practical behaviour changes - and to develop personal skills for coping.

Sessions aim for clarity and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sharon accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Getting started is straightforward: use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Ways of working Sharon names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How these approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people name and reduce the impact of painful memories by gently working through them and learning ways to manage strong reactions. It is useful for those affected by past abuse or major life events.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and to take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, low mood and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and early experiences that affect how people connect now. It can help with trust issues, abandonment concerns and improving emotional bonds.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss options with each person and together they will decide which methods fit their needs and goals. This is a collaborative process and may evolve as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversation and exercises, while phone calls suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter sessions or when someone needs to write things out. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
