About Garon
Counsellor (NCPS), 9 years' experience. Garon Sheppard works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, bipolar difficulties, and coping with life changes. He uses client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural and mindfulness approaches to help people manage emotions and practical problems.
Garon speaks from lived experience of addiction, homelessness and grief, which shapes his practical, down-to-earth style. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, identifying patterns, and building clear coping skills. He draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to work on thinking and behaviour, and on mindfulness to help with emotion regulation.
He also uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and psychodynamic ideas when these fit a person’s needs. That can mean learning distress-tolerance skills, practising emotional awareness, or looking at how past relationships affect present patterns. Work may include short-term focused plans or more open-ended exploration depending on what the person wants.
Garon is registered as NCPS. He works in the United Kingdom and offers services in English. Costs vary by location and are delivered via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not accepted.

How Garon uses therapy approaches with remote work
Garon commonly draws on client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). Client-centred work focuses on listening and responding to the person’s priorities, helping them set goals and steer the sessions. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours and introduces practical exercises to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. DBT offers skills for distress tolerance and emotion regulation, useful when strong emotions or self-harm urges are present.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Some people favour short-term, solution-focused work while others choose more exploratory conversation; the approach can shift over time.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list every option. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements and what will suit everyday life.
