Sharon Gurr , BACP

Sharon Gurr is a counsellor who blends practical talking therapy with compassionate support. She uses approaches that help people make sense of themselves and move forward from difficult experiences. Sharon works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression and relationship issues. She holds BACP accreditation which appears as BACP in her credentials and practises in the United Kingdom.

Her background includes five years of professional practice. She aims to create a calm space where people can reflect and work through painful memories. Sessions focus on what matters now and what a person wants next, rather than getting stuck on labels.

In session Sharon draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches. She also uses client-centred principles to keep conversations grounded and respectful. These methods are chosen to suit each person’s needs and pace rather than applied rigidly.

People come to her for help with grief, parenting stresses, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Practical tools and small experiments are often used between sessions to build skills and confidence.

Sharon accepts international clients and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary with location and sessions run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavioural changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It often helps with panic, sleeping and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to rebuild a sense of safety and better connections in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss these methods with each person and decide together what feels most helpful. The process is collaborative and adapts as goals and needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when needed, phone sessions can fit a short break during a busy day, and messaging or chat suits quick check-ins or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still using the chosen therapeutic methods in a focused way.
