Sharon Gurr, BACP

Sharon Gurr is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing big life stresses find clearer direction. She writes plainly and listens closely to help people make sense of who they are and what they want next.

She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage overwhelming feelings, break unhelpful patterns and build skills for day-to-day life. Sharon uses creative exercises when they help someone access feelings that are hard to put into words.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship strain, parenting questions, sleeping and eating difficulties, and major life changes including midlife transitions. She also offers help around attachment issues, abandonment, trauma, codependency and coping with chronic illness or pain.

With five years of experience, she aims to offer a calm, warm space to reflect and plan small steps forward. The BACP credential appears as BACP and indicates professional registration with that body.

To begin, clients use the site process to make an initial match and arrange sessions. Sharon works with people from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients in English.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Sharon uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, often by setting small, achievable tasks between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build commitment to meaningful action even when difficult feelings remain. Attachment-Based Therapy helps look at patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect current ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss options and adapt methods to suit each person's needs, goals and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and may blend elements from different approaches as the client and counsellor learn what fits best.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or caring duties and can reduce the time spent travelling. It also allows people to continue therapy while living abroad or moving between locations. Practical matters such as session length, how often to meet and whether to use brief check-ins or longer sessions can be arranged to suit everyday life.
