About Sharon

Counsellor (NCPS), three years' experience. Sharon Gunnell helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, career questions and coping with life changes. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centred methods. Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom.

Sharon takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. She listens without judgment and follows the client's lead while offering practical tools. Work often involves noticing unhelpful patterns, trying small behavioural changes, and clarifying what matters most to the person.

ACT is used to help people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. Client-centred work keeps the client’s experience central, with the therapist reflecting and supporting what the client brings to the session. Sharon combines these methods to suit each person’s situation.

She supports people dealing with life transitions such as midlife change, pregnancy and childbirth, workplace stress, and young adult issues. Sharon also works with those affected by chronic illness, cancer, caregiving strain, end-of-life concerns, and feelings of isolation or shame.

Sessions may include talking through recent events, practising new responses, and setting small, achievable goals between meetings. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports clients to clarify their values and take small steps towards things that matter, which can help with anxiety, grief and life changes.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and uses reflection and listening to make sense of what is happening. This approach suits people who want time to process feelings and to be heard while exploring options at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss methods and choose what fits with the person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy routine, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people use different ways of working - for example practical exercises between sessions - without changing the core therapeutic approach.
