Sharon Gurr , BACP

Sharon Gurr is a UK-based therapist who combines warmth, creativity, and a practical focus to support people navigating difficult life experiences. She works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar conditions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Sharon also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, blended family dynamics, codependency, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, dissociation, and separation and divorce.

Her practice blends several evidence-informed methods to tailor work to each person’s needs. Sharon draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to create an integrative approach that fits the individual rather than forcing a single model. She emphasizes helping people make sense of the past, build coping skills for the present, and move toward clearer goals for the future.

Known for offering a supportive space to reflect and to grow, Sharon encourages clients to develop self-efficacy and practical strategies for everyday life. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and accepts clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible access to care.

Integrative therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their personal values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck in them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and interpersonal responses. By exploring attachment styles and relational dynamics, this approach supports people working through relationship difficulties, abandonment issues, and family or parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with more adaptive strategies. It is often effective for symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma-related distress, and problems with sleep and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and schedules. These options support consistent engagement, allow therapy to fit around daily life commitments, and make it possible to continue work through transitions and ongoing challenges.
