Calm, practical support for everyday struggles
About Sharon
Sharon Gurr works from a client-centred base and blends practical approaches to help people manage difficult feelings and life changes. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to support people through stress, anxiety, addiction and grief. Sharon holds BACP registration and practises from the United Kingdom.
Sharon keeps sessions simple and focused on what a person wants to change. She listens, helps name what is happening, and practises strategies that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
Sessions may include talking, problem-solving and exercises designed to reduce worry and improve coping. Her background includes five years of practice with a wide range of presenting concerns. She has worked with people struggling with depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and difficulties such as sleeping and eating problems.
Sharon also helps with career stress, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem. Sharon draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people choose actions that match their values.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy tools are used when practical skills and emotional regulation are needed. Sessions are offered in English and can be delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. International clients may be accepted.
To begin, a short online questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled according to availability.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Sharon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match their values. ACT focuses on learning to live with difficult thoughts while doing what matters most, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react in certain ways and practise new ways of relating to themselves and others. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used for practical problem-solving and for changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which supports work on mood, sleep and coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and Sharon works collaboratively to decide what fits best. She will discuss goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays useful and relevant to each person's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to use video, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
