Sharon Gunnell , NCPS

Sharon Gunnell is a counsellor who helps people work through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, career concerns and major life changes. She offers a calm, supportive space where people can talk about what matters to them and start to build more resilience for the future.

Sharon works in a person-centred way, which means sessions focus on the person's experience and what they want to change. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a practical approach that encourages people to notice their thoughts and take actions that match their values.

She believes that the past cannot always be changed but how it affects day-to-day life can shift. In sessions Sharon supports practice of new ways to manage worries, cope with loss, and rebuild confidence after illness or difficult events. She will help set small, achievable goals and try techniques together in session.

Sharon has three years of experience and holds NCPS. She works with a wide range of concerns including midlife transitions, pregnancy and childbirth issues, cancer and chronic illness, caregiver stress, loneliness and end-of-life matters. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people find clearer directions and more ease in daily life.

Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. People typically begin by matching through the site and arranging a session that fits their schedule.

How Sharon’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, grief and life transitions to build more flexible ways of responding.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the person's pace, helping them find their own solutions and rebuild confidence after losses or change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon works collaboratively to see what fits each person's needs and preferences. Together they will try different techniques, review what helps, and adapt the plan as goals change.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or health needs while keeping regular contact with a therapist.
