Sharon Gurr, BACP

Sharon Gurr is a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings five years of professional experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people navigate difficult life moments by making sense of who they are, resolving past hurts, and moving toward clearer goals for the future.

Warm, caring, and creative in her approach, Sharon provides a reflective space for exploration as well as practical ways to grow and learn. Her practice combines a range of therapeutic tools including Narrative Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, person-centred work, transactional analysis, and psychodynamic ideas. She also integrates creative methods to access and work with parts of the self that can feel overwhelming and to develop manageable ways of coping with strong emotions.

Sharon has experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues, addiction and habit difficulties, grief and loss, parenting and career challenges, adverse childhood experiences, and trauma. She advocates for self-efficacy and encourages people to draw on their own knowledge of themselves while offering guidance to help navigate change. For those ready to make a shift, Sharon offers collaborative support to begin that process.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Sharon commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centred approaches. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility - it helps people learn to live with difficult thoughts and feelings while pursuing meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns - it can be useful for those struggling with relationship issues, abandonment, or attachment-related distress. Client-centred therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and understanding to support personal growth and self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Sharon works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the work as the relationship and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Sharon is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility needs, or those living abroad. These remote options make it easier to access consistent support, maintain momentum between sessions, and fit therapy into day-to-day life while working with registered professionals and therapists committed to client-centred care.
