About Sharon Gurr
Sharon Gurr is a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with over 20 years experience supporting people who find life challenging. She focuses on helping individuals make sense of who they are and where they wish to go, guiding them toward closure on the past to create a brighter future. Sharon combines warmth, care, and creativity to offer a reflective space that also encourages growth and learning.
Her approach draws on a blend of therapeutic methods - including Narrative Therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, person-centred work, transactional analysis, and psychodynamic techniques - and she often incorporates creative tools to address parts of the self that can feel stuck. These techniques are used to manage overwhelming feelings and to develop practical ways of coping.
Sharon has worked successfully with people presenting with depression, anxiety, relationship and family problems, hurts, habits and hang-ups, loss and grief, parenting challenges, career issues, adverse childhood experiences, and trauma. She is a passionate advocate for self-efficacy and believes that while no one knows an individual better than they know themselves, gentle guidance can help them navigate difficult moments and move toward their full potential.
Sharon uses a simple metaphor to describe her work - like a sunflower that needs sunlight to flourish, people often need a little direction to grow. She invites anyone who feels ready for change and growth to reach out and take the first step toward a transformative journey.
