Sharon Matharu
Calm, practical support for everyday struggles
About Sharon
Sharon Matharu is a counsellor with four years of professional experience in the UK. She holds an NCPS credential and has a long history of teaching and mentoring that informs her therapeutic style. Sharon speaks English and Punjabi and works online using a range of session formats.
Sharon aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them. She listens closely and shapes conversations around each person’s needs.
Background and approach
The first meetings usually focus on what matters most now and practical next steps. Her work draws on person-centred principles and cognitive behavioural ideas to help with everyday problems. She uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build coping skills and identify small changes that make a difference.
Sessions are tailored to the person rather than a fixed method. Sharon commonly helps people with stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and issues linked to identity or intimacy.
Additional areas of focus include eating difficulties, parenting pressures and career-related stress. She also offers help around attachment, abandonment, body image and family-of-origin matters. People with neurodiverse traits such as autism or Asperger syndrome are included in her focus areas.
Sharon explains options clearly and works with each person to agree practical goals. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to Sharon’s availability.

How Sharon's approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk, feel heard and to clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and helps people try small behaviour changes and new ways of thinking to reduce distress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and support calmer responses to stress.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Sharon will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new needs emerge.
Online therapy with Sharon is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when less bandwidth is available or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing, need ongoing brief support, or find written reflection helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on achievable steps and skills.
