Sharon Gunnell

Sharon Gunnell, NCPS, offers a calm and supportive space for people feeling isolated, anxious or overwhelmed. She helps with stress, anxiety, grief and big life changes. Her approach is down-to-earth and gentle, aimed at helping people feel more like themselves again.

Sharon works in a person-centred way, which means conversations are guided by what the person needs that day. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, helping people notice difficult thoughts and still move towards what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and small experiments to build resilience.

She regularly supports people facing illness, chronic pain, caregiving stress, bereavement and midlife shifts. Sharon listens without judgement and helps untangle feelings of guilt, shame and loneliness. She gives simple tools for managing worry and stronger strategies for coping with ongoing challenges.

In the room, conversations are straightforward and paced to suit each person. Sharon helps people spot patterns, practise new responses and set realistic goals. Work often includes breathing or grounding exercises, values-based planning and short behavioural experiments to try between sessions.

Sharon has three years of professional experience and works from the United Kingdom. Sessions are held in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to availability.

How Sharon's approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, grief and a sense of loneliness. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace and topics. This approach supports people who need space to be heard and understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with each person about what they want to change and what feels useful. Together they decide whether ACT techniques, person-centred listening, or a mix will best support the person’s goals. The process is collaborative and adjusted as needs evolve.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. Others prefer in-person meetings for longer or more intensive work, so discussing practical arrangements helps make therapy manageable alongside everyday life.
